Introduce two opposite charged objects one AT A TIME and if they move IN THE SAME DIRECTION, they are in a gravitational field, if they move IN DIFFERENT direction they are in an electric field.

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.
Which of the following are created by an arrangement of electric charge or a current?
for apex its: a quantum field, a gravitational field
What are examples of field forces?
Gravitational force field, electric force field, magnetic force field.
How does the electrical force differ from gravity in its manifestation?
Electric force between electric charges where as the gravitational force is between the masses. Electric force is of two types both attractive and repulsive as like charges repel and unlike charges attract. But gravitational force is of only attractive. Electric force between electric charges. So the constant of proportionality has the electric permittivity property. But in case of gravitation, universal gravitation constant plays the equivalent role. It will be the same irrespective of the medium. In case of electric field, permittivity of the medium differ from each other. THe weakest force is the gravitational force where as the electric force would be comparativeley larger. Relatively moving electric field would bring magnetic field. But moving gravitational field does not produce any such field.
What causes an electric field?
An electric field E is produced by a punctual electric charge q or by any electrically charged object. The Efield produced by a charge is analogous to the gravitational field g produced by a mass : Fg= mg the same way Fe = qE.

What type of fields surround every proton?
A 'gravitational field' and an 'electric field' surrounds every proton.

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.

Why is potentials energy sometimes called stored energy?
Because it is. Gravitational potential energy is energy stored in the gravitational field, electrical potential energy is energy stored in the electric field, magnetic potential energy is stored in the magnetic field, etc.
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.
Scientists of gravitational and electric field?
Gravitational: Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, George Gamow, Fred Hubble Electric: Charles Augustin de Coulomb, James Clerk-Maxwell, Guglielmo Marconi, Albert Einstein, Chris Quigg
What device changes gravitational potential to kinetic energy?
The free fall of the object in gravitational field changes its gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What does energy have to do with magnet?
Whenever there is a certain type of force, one that fulfills certain conditions (called a "conservative force") - such as a magnetic field, an electric field, or a gravitational field - there is an associated potential energy.
