It is generally thought that no electric field exists around and outside of a current (DC) carrying wire as the electric field has no radial component and the wire as a whole remains electrically neutral.
However i came across information on the net regarding high voltage (HVDC) transmission lines that stated the existence of an electric field and its effects such as corona dicharges around these power lines.
I would like to know whether an electric field exists around low power DC wires. Is it just that the field is too weak to detect?
