Electric field Magnetic field
The region of space around an The region of space around a
electric charge where its effect magnet where the effect of
appears in it. magnetism appears.
Represented by imaginary lines Represented by imaginary lines
(Electric field lines) (Magnetic field lines)
Electric field lines Magnetic field lines
Imaginary lines don’t intersect
Start from +ve charge. Start from north pole of the magnet.
End at -ve charge. End at south pole of the magnet.
They end at the surface of charged They are denser near the poles and
objects and don’t penetrate them far separated as they move away
from them.
Gravity Magnetism
“Invisible forces” We can only observe their effects.
“Non-contact (Field) forces” Not necessary for objects to be in contact to get
affected.
It attracts any object has mass It attracts certain “magnetic” materials
It is always downward pulling force. It is considered as pulling force
“attract” or pushing force “repel”.
