Explanation:

Electric force acts between charged particles, and can be attractive or repulsive between unlike or like - charged particles respectively. It can act on stationary charges. Magnetic force acts on moving charges and current - carrying conductors. Unique to electricity: 1. Stationary charges produce an electric field. 2. Electric force can be used to store energy in capacitors. Unique to magnetism: 1. Magnetic monopoles have not been found in nature. 2. Magnetic force on a moving charge is perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field. Common characteristics: 1. Both follow an inverse - square law (Coulomb's law for electric force and Biot - Savart law and Ampere's law related to magnetic force which have inverse - square like behavior in some aspects). 2. Both can exert forces on charged particles.
