Main similarity: Like charges repel each other, different charges attract each other.
Main difference: Magnetic "charges" can't be separated. At least, so far it has not been achieved.
Electrical charges and magnetic poles have a few things in common, the least of which is their inherent relation in one often creating the other. Both have opposing ends (positive is to negative as north is to south) and neither need to touch in order to attract or repel.

Similar: You have a force from one polarity to another. The electric field is a natural force for charged particles. The magnetic field is the force from magnetic material.
Different: The magnetic is a cross-product vector, with direction given by the right hand rule by convention. This contrasts with the electric field E, a polar vector.
Please note that for most practical forces, electric and magnetic forces should be considered as different types of forces. That being said, both can be both attractive and repulsive; also, like charges (or poles) repel, and different charges (or poles) attract. One important difference in the way they behave is that electric charges can be separated; the equivalent in magnetism can't be separated. Thus, you always have a magnetic dipole, not separate north and south poles.
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
electrical lines of force come out from the positive electrical charge so as magnetic lines of force comes out from north magnetic pole.
Electricity: Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attract each other. Magnetism: the same; just replace the word "charges" with "poles".
Outside the dubious field of magnetic therapists, the terms 'positive' and 'negative' are not applied to magnetic polarities. Furthermore, we do not describe magnetic polarity as a 'charge'. However, magnetic poles and electric charges follow the same rule -i.e. like poles repel while unlike poles attract.
a photon cannot be deflected by an electric or magnetic field because it has no charge and no magnetic poles like elementary particles such as the electron
Magnets have a south pole and a north pole. Like poles of two magnets repel and opposite poles attract each other.
Magnetism is a property of certain materials, usually metals, that have an electric dipole on the molecular scale. A dipole is a significant separation between the positive and negative charges in the molecule. Since electrons and protons have spin, and moving electrical charges generate megnetic fields, the dipole generates a net magnetic field. If enough dipoles are oriented in the same direction the body has a net magnetic field. The dipoles can align when sitting in a permanent magnetic field for a long period of time, like underground in the earth's magnetic field.
Magnetic north is negative and magnetic south is positive. The resulting magnetic field lines go from north to south. Mnemonic: north = negative.AnswerThe terms, 'positive' and 'negative', are generally applied to electric charges, not to magnetic poles. Having said that, 'magnetic therapists' use the terms 'positive' and 'negative' when referring to magnetic poles -however, their knowledge of magnetism appears very shaky!Magnetic poles are normally identified as 'north' and 'south'. The 'direction' of a magnetic field, by convention, is the direction in which a compass needle would point when placed within that field -that is, from north to south.
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract. They are similar to electric charges, for they can both attract and repel without touching. ... Electric charges produce electrical forces and regions called magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
Yes, the rules for applying attraction and repulsion forces are the same for electric charges and magnets.
Magnetic poles can not exist and monopoles but must be in pairs where you have a force from one polarity to another. Electric charges, such as plus and minus, can exist alone.

Magnetic dipole is due to two poles of magnet. Electric dipole is due to +ve and -ve charges of electric charges.
There are two oppositely "charged" poles for both electric and magnetic. For magnetism we call the poles North and South, while for static electricity we call the poles positive and negative. Of course, you can walk away with the electrically charged positive pole, while you can't walk away with the North "charged" pole. There are differences. There is (apparently) no magnetic monopole.

Like magnetic poles (or like electric charges) push away from each other. The same also happens with like color charges of the quarks.
Magnetic poles and electric charges both act the same as in:"opposites attract and same repel."Electric charge is the source of magnetic poles. The Magnetic pole is W=zq where z is the free space impedance 375 Ohms and q is the charge. W units is the Weber or volt-second.
Both magnets and static electricity repel like charges and attract to opposite charges. Magnets repel the same poles and attract opposite poles. Static electricity repels like charges and attracts unlike charges.
Electricity is like magnetic attraction because like charges in electricity repel similar to the way like magnetic poles repel.
