An observer at rest experiences an electric field due to a static charge. Later he starts moving away from it then the observer experiences.
  1. Only magnetic field
  2. Only electric field
  3. Electric and magnetic field
  4. No field at all

Solution

As, observer starts moving away from charge, there is a relative velocity of charge with respect to observer . As, an electric and a magnetic field is associated with a moving charge w.r.t to the moving observer. Hence he experiences both fields.
