Schematic representation of field lines of electric field around a negative electric charge.

A static electric charge (grey small circle at the centre) generates electrostatic field (blue area). A sudden acceleration of the charge (dark blue small circle) creates an electromagnetic pulse (red ring) which radiates away into space at the speed of light. A charge moving at a constant velocity v generates electric and magnetic field attached with the charge (green area).
