Why current carrying wire do not produce electric field?
if u put a positive charge in any medium then there would be electric filed lines in that medium starting from +ve charge to -ve charge. so current carrying wire doesn’t produce electric field because wire is basically neutral (balanced)…the charges which are responsible for current is flowing.
Why a current carrying wire produces magnetic field?
@vamsi kancharla • 10 Oct, 2012 A current carrying conductor, such as a metal wire, will produce a magnetic field around it because of the motion of charge within the wire itself. This motion produces or sets up a magnetic field around the wire in the form of concentric circles.
Do current carrying wire produces electric field?
Yes there is an electric field outside of a current carrying wire, in a direction along the wire axis (i.e. parallel to the wire). This is true in both the AC and DC case.
When a wire carries a current then electric field?
Thus, for a current carrying conductor, electric field inside the metal and the magnetic field outside the wire. Therefore, when an electric current is passed through a conducting wire along its length, the electric field exists inside the wire but parallel to it.
Does a current carrying wire produces an electric field?
Why and when does the current carrying conductor?
A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it which interacts with the magnetic field in which it is held. Thus, it experiences a force. Direction of this force depends upon the direction of current and the magnetic field.
When and why does a current carrying conductor experience force?
When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field the wire experiences a force due to the interaction between the field and the magnetic field produced by the moving charges in the wire. The current carrying conductor generates it own magnetic field around it.
What does a current carrying wire produces?
A wire carrying electric current will produce a magnetic field with closed field lines surrounding the wire.
Do wires have an electric field?
Although a wire is a conductor, there is no electric field in it just because it is capable of conducting current! If you connect a battery to the ends of the wire, the battery voltage creates an electric field that, in deed, causes the electrons in the wire to move and try to “neutralize” the electric field.
When there is electric current through conducting wire along its length then an electric field must exist?
Therefore, when an electric current is passed through a conducting wire along its length, the electric field exists inside the wire but parallel to it. So, the correct answer is option B i.e. inside the wire but parallel to it.
