A moving electron produces
- Only electric field
- Both electric and magnetic field
- Only magnetic field
- Neither electric nor magnetic field
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
When an electron moves, it produces both an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced due to the charge of the electron, while the magnetic field arises from the motion of the electron. This is a fundamental principle of electromagnetism, where a moving charge generates both types of fields.
The electric field is radially outward from the charge, and the magnetic field forms concentric circles around the path of the moving charge.

- A plano-convex lens having radius of curvature of first surface 2 cm exhibits focal length of \( f_1 \) in air. Another plano-convex lens with first surface radius of curvature 3 cm has focal length of \( f_2 \) when it is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.2. If both the lenses are made of the same glass of refractive index 1.5, the ratio of \( f_1 \) and \( f_2 \) will be:
