E-field of a constant velocity charged particle

[cianfa72]

The field around a straight current carrying conductor is a magnetic field with no electric field.

I've a doubt here. In the model of straight conductor carrying current (a flow of electrons moving with constant velocity) is the net charge inside each volume/segment of the conductor supposed to be zero (due to the presence of positive metal ions) ?

you are right, even the hydrogen atom is a dipole, i.e. has a electric field

Since the 1s ground state of the hydrogen atom is spherically-symmetric, can you tell us in which direction this electric field points?

its dipole moment has equal chance of pointing in any direction :)
