Question
question 10 of 25 which two things occur when electric charges move through a conductor? a. an electric field forms. b. the field is parallel to the electron flow. c. the field is perpendicular to the electron flow. d. a magnetic field forms.
When electric charges move through a conductor, an electric - field is present due to the potential difference that causes the charge motion. Also, according to Ampere's law, a magnetic field is produced around a current - carrying conductor (where current is the flow of electric charges). The electric field is in the direction of the conventional current (opposite to electron flow) and not perpendicular or parallel in the context of the basic relationship between electric field and electron flow in a conductor for this question.
