Does a moving neutron have an electric field ?
cragar said:so then if a moving neutron has a small E field and B field then we could get photon emission from it , is this correct .
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It has a neutral charge and is slightly larger than a proton.
Yes, a neutron always has an electric field. However, it is a neutral particle, so its electric field is balanced by the positive charge of the proton in the nucleus.
The electric field of a moving neutron is not significantly different from a stationary neutron. However, the motion of a neutron can affect the overall magnetic properties of an atom.
Yes, a moving neutron can create an electric current. This is known as beta decay, where a neutron decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino, causing a flow of electric current.
The electric field of a moving neutron can affect its interactions with other particles, as it can create a magnetic field. This can lead to the attraction or repulsion of other charged particles, depending on their polarity.
