Whenever a charged particle is in motion ,there is both electric and magnetic fields created. Why is it that we only study one of it at a time ?

Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that deals with the interaction between electrically charged particles and magnets. It explains how electric and magnetic fields are created and how they interact with each other.
Charged particles in motion refer to any particles that have an electric charge and are moving. This includes electrons, protons, and ions. When these particles move, they create an electric current, which produces a magnetic field.
As charged particles move, they create oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These fields interact with each other and create a self-sustaining wave known as an electromagnetic wave. This wave can travel through space and carry energy and information.
Electromagnetism plays a crucial role in many everyday technologies, such as electricity, communication, and transportation. It is also essential in understanding the behavior of atoms and molecules, which is vital in fields like chemistry and biology.
Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electric current in a conductor by varying the magnetic field around it. This can be achieved by moving a magnet near a wire or by changing the current in a nearby wire. It is the principle behind the functioning of generators, motors, and transformers.
