A wire has a current passing through it. Surrounding this wire there is:
- Aa skin effect that diminishes with distance
- Ban electromagnetic field
- Can electrostatic field
- Da cloud of electrons
Correct answer: B — an electromagnetic field. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
When electric current flows through a wire, it creates an invisible region of force around it called an electromagnetic field. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
