Solution

Electric charge:

  1. Electric charge is the basic property of matter carried by some elementary particles that govern how the particles are affected by an electric or magnetic field.
  2. Electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, occurs in natural units and is neither created nor destroyed.
  3. When we try to charge an object, one has to alter the charge balance of positive and negative charges.
  4. There are three major ways to do it: friction, conduction, and induction.
  5. An electric charge in a state of motion produces both electric and magnetic fields.
  6. The electric field is a property associated with each and every point in space when the charge is present in any form.
  7. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.
  8. The definition of a magnetic field is that placed in space near a permanent magnet or an electric current where a physical field is created from a moving electric charge.
  9. Electric charge creates a force on another moving electric charge. An example of a magnetic field is the Earth's magnetic field.

Thus, an electric charge in a state of motion produces both electric and magnetic fields.
