Dec 17, 2013 at 13:05 comment added user31782 Would there be electric field around the current carrying conductor, even when DC source is used? Here is the answer. The point is that for maintaining $\vec E$ inside wire it requires a variable surface charge density i.e. the quasi-neutrality is destroyed making the wire charged hence a minor $\vec E$ is observed outside the wire too.

Explanation on the problem is improved.
Nov 2, 2013 at 6:05 comment added anna v I am an experimentalist. There do not exist appreciable electric fields outside current carrying wires. We are all doing the experiment continually just by typing on the computer to communicate on this page. There would be sparks continually. So we can only talk of fields smaller than the ionization energy of air, or our skin.

Clarity on the problem is taken up to standards.

Explanation is given more clarity on the problem of the concept.

Oct 21, 2013 at 10:56 comment added MSalters Presumably, since this is not a superconductor, there's a electric field inside the conductor - why are these electrons flowing? That field cannot sharply end at the edge of the conductor.
