No. An electromagnetic wave IS electric and magnetic fields.


Is electric field can deflect x rays?

no, x rays are not charged particles. electric field can apply force only on charged particles like electrons and protons.


Why is magnetic field used to deflect electron beam and not an electric field in a television picture tube?

if electric field is used then we have to apply a very high voltage ,or we may require a very long tube.however ,if a magnetic field is used ,even a small field can produce large deflection ,on the other hand ,the required size of the picture tube will be highly reduced .due to this reason,the magnetic field is uesd to deflect the electron beam in T.V. insted of the electric field.

Why does the electric field inside a dielectric decrease when it is placed in an external electric field?

The net electric field inside a dielectric decreases due to polarization. The external electric field polarizes the dielectric and an electric field is produced due to this polarization. This internal electric field will be opposite to the external electric field and therefore the net electric field inside the dielectric will be less.


Can a electric current affect a compass?

Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
