Question

What is the difference between the fields surrounding a stationary charge and those that surround a moving charge?

Answer 1

Fields surrounding a stationary charge produces an electric field and fields surrounding a smoving charge produces a magnetic field and this magnetic field force cant perform any work because it is perpendicular to the field(B) and velocity(V) but electric field force can perform work

Answer 2

The correct answer is that a moving charge exhibits both electric and magnetic field, while a stationary charge exhibits only an electric field.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the stationary state, that is, if the charged particle is at rest, then the field produced by the charged particle will be electric in nature. Thus, a stationary charge generates an electric field only. However, if a charge moves, that is, either at a uniform speed or is in acceleration, then the field generated by the charged particle will be both magnetic and electric in nature.
