Question

Which is the incorrect statement? When a current flows through a conductor,

Options

• the conductor has magnetic field around it.

• the direction of magnetic field is at right angles to the direction of flow of current

• the conductor has electric field around the conductor.

• all of these

Answer 1

The conductor has electric field around the conductor.

Explanation:

When current flows, a magnetic field is produced around the conductor, and its direction is at right angles to the current. But the conductor does not have an electric field around it because it remains electrically neutral.
