What surrounds a moving electrical charge?

it depends on what kind of charge it is if its a positive charge then protons are surrounding it if it is a negative charge then electrons are surrounding it does that make sense?


Why do electrons keep moving around the nucleus of the atom and not fly away?

Since the electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged due to presence of protons, they attracted towards each other by the electrostatic force of attraction and thus electrons keep revolving around the nucleus and do not run away
