Its strength depends on the magnitude and separation of the charges creating the field.

It is generated by moving charges, such as a current flowing through a wire.

It is often found around particles or objects with a net electrical charge.

It produces an electric force on charged particles within the field.

Its strength depends on the amount of current flowing or the rate of change of the magnetic field.

It consists of both an electric and a magnetic field component.

The flow of current does not change periodically.

It is most commonly used and most-preferred electric power for household equipment, office, buildings, etc.

The electric charge flow changes its direction periodically.

It flows in a single direction in a steady voltage.

Its major use is to supply power to electrical devices and to charge batteries.

It generates electromagnetic fields, heat or light.

It cannot be transferred over a very long distance - it loses electric power.

Its frequency is dependent upon the country.
