Difference Between Electric Field And Magnetic Field

Magnetic field is an exerted area around the magnetic force. It is obtained by moving electric charges. The direction of the magnetic field is indicated by lines. While the electric fields are generated around the particles which obtains electric charge. During this process, positive charges are drawn, while negative charges are repelled.

Electric And Magnetic Field

A object with moving charge always has both magnetic and electric field. They have some similarities and also has two different field with same characteristics. Both fields are inter-related called electromagnetic field but there are not depended on each other.

Difference Between Electric Field vs Magnetic Field

It creates electric charge in surrounding	Creates electric charge around moving magnets
Measured as newton per coulomb, volt per meter	Measured as gauss or tesla
Proportional for the electric charge	Proportional to speed of electric charge
Are perpendicular to the magnetic field	Are perpendicular to the electric field
Generates VARS	Absorbs VARS
