Logic behind wave from single electron's double slit experiment ?

In the experiment, when a single electron at a time is fired:

1. If there is only one slit then a wave pattern is NOT formed?
(How about light through a single slit (any pattern or interference
pattern)?)

2. But when two slits are used then a wave interference pattern is
formed.

In #2, don't electrons generate an EM field, even in a vacuum chamber
instead of a wire?


3. If so then could it be its EM field(same as a light wave) is
generating the interference pattern (using two slits) instead of the
electron....or would that form a much weaker (less intense) pattern
then that of the electron??
