difference between electrostatic and magnetic force?
The electrostatic force: It is what causes static electricity, in which an object accumulates an excess or shortage of electrons, it causes opposite charges to attract, and like charges to repel. Electrons, negatively charged, tend to stick to protons, positively charged. Two protons would repel each other, as would two electrons.
The magnetic force: It acts upon moving charges. If I've got an electric current, where the electrons are moving forward in a wire, the current creates a magnetic field. If I place two of these wires next to each other with the currents going in the same direction, they will attract. If the currents go in opposite directions, the wires repel.
