Every charged particle produces an electric field and a moving charged particle also generates a magnetic field. The interaction with these fields can change the trajectory of the particle.
Every charged particle produces an electric field. This is because a charged particle creates a region around it where other charged particles experience a force. Additionally, when a charged particle moves, it produces a magnetic field. This interaction between charged particles and their respective fields is governed by electromagnetic forces.
For instance, if a charged particle is released from rest, and we notice its path starting to curve, this indicates that the particle is in a region where there is a magnetic field (B ≠ 0), an electric field (E ≠ 0), or both. A combination of these fields can affect the trajectory of the particle.
To summarize:

Charged particles produce electric fields.
When in motion, they produce magnetic fields.
The interaction with these fields can alter the particle's path.

Every charged particle produces an electric field, and when in motion, it generates a magnetic field. These fields influence the behavior of other charged particles, impacting their paths. The interaction between electric and magnetic fields is central to understanding electromagnetism.
