Lets make it visible, and break it down

Electric Charges & Magnetic Poles (How are they different?)

  • Positive and negative charges can exist separately, while north and south poles always come together.
  • Electric field lines have definite starting and ending points. Magnetic field lines are continuous loops
  • Magnetic field unit is B. For electricity it is T (tesla).

I'm sure there is more out there, sorry if this isn't much. This is all I know.

Hope it was of use!
