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.

Are there positive and negative magnetic charges analogous to positive and negative electric charges?

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.


What are similarities and differences between the magnetic and electric charge interaction?

Both magnetic and electric charges interact with each other through attraction or repulsion. However, electric charges are typically carried by protons and electrons, while magnetic charges (or poles) are found in magnetic materials like magnets. Additionally, while electric charges produce electric fields that exert forces on other charges, magnetic charges produce magnetic fields that affect moving charges.


How opposite charges or magnetic poles respond?

Opposite charges attract each other, meaning they pull together. Similarly, opposite magnetic poles attract each other. This is because there is an attractive force between opposite charges or magnetic poles.


What two south magnetic poles brought near each other?

When two south magnetic poles are brought near each other, they will repel each other due to their like magnetic charges. This is because opposite magnetic poles attract, while like magnetic poles repel.


What shape of a permanent magnet corresponds to the magnetic field formed by a solenoid?

A solenoid typically produces a magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet. The magnetic field lines form loops around the solenoid, making it closely resemble a bar magnet with north and south poles at either end.

How the behavior of electric charges similar to that of magnetic 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.


What are the similarities of magnetic poles and electric charge?

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.


Magnetic poles are similar to electric charges in that they both can repel and attarct one another?

Yes, magnetic poles, like electric charges, can attract or repel each other based on their orientation. Similar poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract. This behavior is a common characteristic of both magnetic and electric fields.


In what way are magnetic poles very different from electric charges?

Magnetic poles are always found in pairs (North and South), unlike electric charges which can exist independently. Magnetic poles also do not exist as isolated charges, while electric charges can be found separately. Additionally, magnetic charges do not exist as distinct entities like electric charges.


How are electrical charges similar to magnetic poles?

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.

How are the forces between charges similar to to the forces between magnetic poles?

The forces between charges and magnetic poles both follow an inverse square law, meaning they decrease with distance squared. Additionally, both forces can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the relative orientations of the charges or poles. Finally, both types of forces are mediated by fields (electric or magnetic fields) that extend through space.

What like magnet poles do?

Like magnetic poles (or like electric charges) push away from each other. The same also happens with like color charges of the quarks.


What is the force of attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles?

The force of attraction or repulsion between magnetic poles is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic poles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract each other. This force follows Coulomb's law, similar to electric charges.
