A magnetic field can be produced by
- a.moving charge.
- b.a changing electric field.
- c.both (A) and (B)
- d.None of the above
Answer: (C) both (A) and (B)
A moving charge (an electric current) produces a magnetic field, and by Maxwell's displacement-current idea a changing electric field also produces one. Since both sources work, the answer is (C); choosing only (A) or (B) leaves out the other.
