  1. A current carrying conductor is associated with
    1. a magnetic field
    2. an electric field
    3. an electro-magnetic field

    4. an electrostatic field
Correct Option: C

A current carrying conductor, such as a metal wire, will produce a magnetic field around it because of the motion of charge within the wire itself. This motion produces or sets up a magnetic field around the wire in the form of concentric circles. This electromagnetic effect is described in physics by the Biot-Savart Law, an experimentally deduced inverse-square law. The effect is also described by Ampere’s Law, which is derived from the Biot-Savart Law.
