Question

electrons are charged particles. moving charged particles are a current. there is a current of electrons flowing through a copper wire, as shown below. as the electrons flow through the wire, ______ is generated around the wire. a. a convection current b. elastic potential energy c. gravitational potential energy d. a magnetic field

Explanation:

According to electromagnetism, a current - carrying conductor generates a magnetic field around it. Moving electrons in the wire constitute an electric current. Convection current is related to fluid movement due to temperature differences. Elastic potential energy is related to the deformation of elastic materials. Gravitational potential energy is related to an object's height in a gravitational field.

Answer:

D. a magnetic field
