Gravitational force field, electric force field, magnetic force 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.

Does the gravitational field protect us from the sun?

No, the gravitational field keeps us in orbit around the sun. The earths magnetic field provides us with some protection from charged particles from the sun.


Do magnetic fields distort space-time in the same way that a gravitational field does?

No, it doesn't.


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 the magnetic field of Venus's?

Venus has a small magnetic field created by the interaction of its ionosphere and the solar wind. This is different from most of the intrinsic planetary magnetic fields (those generated by planetary cores) that are commonly spoken about. Venus either lacks an intrinsic magnetic field or it has one that is in the midst of a polarity reversal.


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.
