SUMMARY
When a current flows through a conductor, both a magnetic field and an electric field are generated around it. This phenomenon is explained in detail in H C Verma and Resnick Halliday textbooks, which provide a foundational understanding of electromagnetics. The electric field is particularly significant in high-voltage scenarios, such as power lines, where the potential difference relative to the surrounding air creates noticeable effects, including audible humming due to interactions with moisture in the environment.
