Write the difference between electric field lines and magnetic field lines.
(N/A) The fundamental differences between electric field lines and magnetic field lines are as follows:
$1$. Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate at negative charges. They do not form closed loops.
$2$. Magnetic field lines form continuous closed loops,extending from the North pole to the South pole outside the magnet and from the South pole to the North pole inside the magnet.
$3$. Electric field lines represent the path along which a unit positive charge would move,whereas magnetic field lines represent the direction of the magnetic field vector at any point.
