A wire carries an alternating current i = i0sinωt. Is there an
electric field in the vicinity of the wire?
Given: Alternating current
The current is the rate of flow of charge per unit time. Mathematically
For a time, t, we can assume the charges in the wire are at rest,
then the charge will be given as
Similarly, a no. of charges can be assumed to be at rest. These
charges produce a time varying electric field.
