A bishop is in charge of a diocese
A cardinal is usually an archbishop in charge of an archdiocese.
There are three orders of Cardinals: Cardinal Bishops Cardinal Priests Cardinal Deacons There are no Cardinal Archbishops but there are archbishops who are cardinals.
Under Western Canon Law a Bishop would only answer to a Cardinal: 1) if the Bishop is an auxiliary bishop and that bishop's ordinary happens to be a Cardinal (e.g., when Bishop Fulton Sheen was auxiliary Bishop of New York he answered to His Eminence Francis Cardinal Spellman, Cardinal Archbishop of new York) 2) if the Bishop is dealing with any Cardinal in the Roman Curia in an office that has authority over him (e.g., if a Bishop is dealing with the Congregation of Bishops)
Roman Catholic AnswerNormally, a Cardinal, as such, as no power over a Bishop. They are both Bishops. The only thing that distinguishes a Cardinal from an ordinary Bishop is that a Cardinal can elect the new Pope.

Cardinal simply means a Bishop who has been chosen to elect the next Pope.
