Does the electric field make electrons?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that electrons, due to their electric charge, inherently generate an electric field. This relationship is established as a fundamental property of electric charge, where the presence of an electron results in the creation of an electric field around it. The terminology used emphasizes that the generation of an electric field is a direct consequence of the electric charge possessed by electrons.

PREREQUISITES

DiracPool doesn't know what he is talking about, I am afraid. Electrons have electric charge, and one of the properties of electric charge is that it generates an electric field.

which means electrons create an electric field, right?
 
generates = creates, yes.
