I don't know either....but I have my suspects.
I doubt you can have a flow of current without a magnetic field and if a conductor moves in a magnetic field, you will induce a current. The basic motor/generator. Or, to be audio about it, a speaker which generates back EMF.
An electron has a field but I don't know if that is magnetic or electric in nature. I doubt there are motionless electrons above absolute zero.
The physics guys call it 'electro-magnetism'.
Please read the Wiki for the answer to this and other stimulating questions!
