Electric Field |
Magnetic Field |
1. In an electric field the
current actually flow , there is movement of electron
|
Due to MMF flux gets established and does not flow in the sense in
which current flows.
|
2. There are many materials which can be used as insulators that are air,
P.V.C synthetic resin etc. form which current cannot pass.
|
There is no magnetic insulator as flux can pass through all the
material, even though the air as well.
|
3. Energy must be supplied for an electric field to maintain the flow
of electric current.
|
Energy is required to create the magnetic flux, but is not required
to maintain it.
|
4. Electric lines of flux are not closed. They start from positive
charge and end on negative charge.
|
Magnetic lines of flux are closed lines. They flow from N pole to S
pole externally while S pole to N pole internally
|
5. Electric Field (EMF = Current x Resistance)
|
Magnetic Field ( MMF = Current x Reluctance )
|
6. There is continuous consumption of electrical energy.
|
Energy is required to create the magnetic flux and not to maintain
it.
|
7. EMF is the driving force in electric circuit, the unit is volts.
|
MMF is the driving force in the magnetic circuit, the unit of which
is ampere turns.
|
8. Kirchhoff”s current and and voltage law is applicable to the
electric field and circuit.
|
Kirchhoff”s MMF law and flux law is applicable to the magnetic field
and magnetic circuit. it is basic difference between electric field and magnetic field.
|
9. The flow of electrons decides the current in conductor.
|
The number of magnetic lines of force decides the flux.
