Question

A current carrying conductor has magnetic field around it. Does it have electric around it also? Does a current carrying conductor apply force on a static chargeplaced at some distance from the current carrying conductor ?

Answer 1

Ans: According to the definition of electric current "Rate of flow of charge is called electric current." Which explains that when a charge starts moving through a conductor, we say current is generated.
Now in a current carrying conductor, the charge carrier is electron, which flows opposite to the direction of flow of current. These charge carriers have their specific electric field and also these electrons exerts force when another charge is placed near to the conductor.
So we can say that a current carrying conductor does have both the magnetic field and also electric field around it. And due to the electric field around it, the conductor will apply force on a static charge placed at some distance from the conductor.
