Ok Thanks

My major misconception was brought about mostly since the electron is
also the center of an electric & magnetic force field as it moves

along
the wire which stop as the soon as the electron(electricity) stops
moving along the wire?


Because electrons or any charge distribution produce
an electric field, moving electrons can be used to
produce a magnetic field.

That's not the only way to produce either an electric
or a magnetic field.

It's like assuming that because trumpets produce sound,
then all sound is produced by trumpets.
