Every charged particle is surrounded by an electric field, the area in which the charge exerts a force.

What is a charged particle surrounded by?

(b) A charged particle is surrounded by an electric field, which determines the particle’s influence on other charged particles.

Can a proton be deflected by magnetic field?

The deflection of a charged particle by a magnetic field is proportional to its electric charge and to its velocity. … So given a proton and an electron going at the same velocity in a magnetic field and having equal (but opposite) electric charge the electron will deflect much more since the ratio of the masses is 1836.
