What happens to electric charges under the influence of electric vs magnetic fields?

Answer with explanation:

If a electric charge is at rest or moving in an electric field in space it experiences an electric force mathematically given by

The force on the charge is independent of motion of the charge. Thus the charge is accelerated in an electric field.

As compared to electric field a magnetic field can only exert force on moving charge and not a stationary charge and the force is mathematically given by

where

v is the velocity vector of the charge.
