The gravitational and electric fields share similarities in that they are vector fields and both transmit forces between objects, Gravitational force is equal to the product of two MASSES divided by the distance between them squared. Electric force is equal to the product of two CHARGES divided by the distance between them squared.

Which form of energy does not require matter for traveling through space?
Electromagnetic radiation. Energy can also be transmitted by electric fields, by magnetic fields, and by gravitation.Electromagnetic radiation.

What do magnets have to with electricity?
Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.
In an electromagnetic wave the oscillating electric and magnetic fields are what?
In an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and are in phase.
A force that draws bodies together?
Chemistry. Hormones. Pheromones. Electric fields, magnetic fields, gravity fields.
Difference between electric and gravitational forces?
Gravitation is much weaker, and it always attracts.add Gravity can be considered as a property of matter, or at least of the curvature of space-time. Gravitation Wavesare believed to travel at the velocity of light. Wikipedia has an article "speed of gravity".Various scientists are attempting to detect Gravitation Waves from rotating stellar objects, but so far without success. Forces in Newtonian Physics propagate at infinite velocity, hence the interest in this definitive experiment.Have a crack at the Introduction paragraph of Gravitation Waves above. And Gravitons.Definitely one of the Fun Parts of Physics.{not to be confused with Gravity Waves, which are Earth-bound waves on the ocean and similar.}Electric forces are due to the presence of electrons. If the electrons are moving, you have an electric current, and this can generate a magnetic field.[Even if there is no electric current, the electrons actually spin in their natural state, and if a number of electrons have a similar spin, then you may have a permanent magnet.] [Posit. Do all the electrons in a current have similar spin?].One may establish a surplus number of electrons on an insulating surface, and this static electric field will repel a similar field.
Can an electric field be compressed?
Electric fields are similar to magnetic fields, and can be "compressed" by the imposition of other electric or magnetic fields.
What fields gravational magnetic or electric can only exist in one direction?
gravitational
How are a gravitational and an electric field similar?
They are very similar, the only differences is that electrical forces can attract and repel where as gravity only attracts. Answer2: Both Gravitational and Electrical Fields are Real or scalar or Potential fields, inversely related to the distance' Eg = -mGM/r and Ee = +/- e1e2zc/r.
What type of fields surround every proton?
A 'gravitational field' and an 'electric field' surrounds every proton.
What causes the Moon's gravitational fields?
Gravitational fields are caused by masses.
What is the stationary of electric charge?
There is no such thing.If you mean, what is a stationary electric charge, that is normally called static electricity.
Can gravitational waves be bended by gravitational fields?
yes
What force fields would be felt by a stationary charged object?
Newtonian gravitational field and an electric field. If it were moving then it would feel a magnetic field.
What is similar between force fields and magnetism?
Force field refers to the lines of force one object exerts on another object or a collection of other objects. Note that force fields does not exist in reality, but are really a construct that allows scientists to visualize the effects of objects on other objects; in other words, it makes the math easy. Examples of force fields: Newtonian gravitational field, global Gravitational field, A conservative Electric field, A static Magnetic field. A magnetic field is a field that permeates space and which exerts a magnetic force on moving electric charges and magnetic dipoles.
Can gravitational be added to electric field to get the total field?
No. The sum of the gravitational field and the electric field is a useless concept.
How are moving electric charges related to electric and magnetic fields?
Moving electric charges create electromagnetic fields.
What universal force is the weakest electric gravitational or magnetic?
gravitational force.
