COMPARISON OF ELECTRIC FIELD AND MAGNETIC FIELD

 

ELECTRIC FIELD

MAGNETIC FIELD

Source is “ Charge”

Source is current

Obeys inverse square law

Obeys inverse square law

Obeys principle of superposition

Obeys principle of superposition

It is independent of angle

It is dependent on angle

Electric field lines don’t form close loops

Magnetic field lines form closed loops

Electric field changes kinetic energy of particle

Magnetic field doesn’t change kinetic energy of particle.

A particle experiences electric field whether it is at rest or in motion

A particle experiences magnetic field only in motion and a charge at rest doesn’t experience the magnetic field.
