Question

Which one of the following statements regarding electrostatics is wrong?

• A. Charge is quantized.
• B. Charge is conserved.
• C. There is an electric field near an isolated charge at rest.
• D. A stationary charge produces both electric and magnetic fields.

Answer 1

The correct option is D A stationary charge produces both electric and magnetic fields.

A stationary charge only produces electric field, while a charge in uniform motion produces both electric and magnetic fields.
