Question

How are electric and magnetic fields different than electric and magnetic forces?

Answer 1

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

- Electric field is a point value in space that is generated by charge placed in space which exerts an electric force per unit of charge. As per Coulomb's Law:

E = Fe / q

- Magnetic field is generated by a magnetic or a source of moving charges in a region of space that allows attraction towards the source. The formulation is given as Lorentz force (Fm)

Fm = q* ( v x B )

- Lorentz Force can either by attractive or repulsive that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.

- Electric Force can either by attractive or repulsive that arises between two charged particles depending on the signs of charge on each.

Answer 2

Electric field is associates to each point in space as a electric force per unit of charge.

Magnetic field is defined as the vector field necessary to make the Lorentz force correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric and magnetic fields are both manifestations of the electromagnetic force.

• For instance, the electric field is associates to each point in space as an electric force per unit of charge.

• Now, the magnetic field is defined as the vector field necessary to make the Lorentz force law correctly describe the motion of a charged particle.

Let's recall that the magnetic force is described by the Lorentz Force. It means the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.
