Answer with Explanation:

Electric field:It is the force per unit charge experienced by rest charge at any given point.

It is the area around the charge which is placed at rest.It is represented by E.

Mathematical formula:


E=(F)/(q)

Magnetic field:It is an area around moving charge in which moving charge particle experienced magnetic force in that area.

Magnetic field is represented by B.

Mathematical formula :


F=qvBsin\theta

Where B=Magnetic field

q=Charge on particle

v=Velocity of particle

F=Magnetic force exert on particle
