Question

what is the similarity between electrostatic and magnetic force

Answer 1

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.

Answer 2

Answer:

The similarity between electrostatic and magnetic forces is that they are non-contact or at-a-distance forces.

Explanation:

Electrostatic and magnetic forces are similar in the following ways:-

• Both are non-contact or at-a-distance forces.
• Two poles that are similar repel each other, whereas two poles that are polar opposites attract each other.
• The forces can be both attractive and repellent.
• The quantity of their forces is determined by the separation distance between them. They decrease as the separation distance increases and increase as the separation distance lowers. Their magnitude increases inversely as the square of the separation distance, i.e. doubling the separation distance reduces the magnitude of forces by one-fourth.
