Comparison between force, mass, current and charge in Gravitational field and magnetic field Flashcards

1
Q

Difference between Magnetic and Gravitational

A

A mass placed in a gravitational field will always move in the direction of the field ( from higher to lower potential )
which is always negative a point charge placed in an electric field can be both positive and negative
