A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. Is there a similar magnetic field produced around a thin beam of moving :
(i) electrons (ii) Neutrons
Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Yes (ii) No
A beam of moving electrons constitutes electric current but neutrons are neutral, so no current and hence no magnetic field is produced.
