How is electric and magnetic fields related to the current in the wire. Why is the electric field in phase with the magnetic field?
if a current is passed through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. The voltage (or pressure) applied to drive the current through the wire produces an electric field around the wire. As with a magnetic field around a magnet, the electric and magnetic fields associated with a current-carrying wire will reduce rapidly as the distance from the wire increases.
