Okay, I know the difference between an electric field and a Magnetic field:
An electric field can created by a presence of a charged particle such as elctron or proton. While a magnetic field is created due the relative motion of a charged particle with respect to a stationary observer, which radiates at right angle to the motion of the charged particle.
But apart from the difference mentioned above, are there any other different properties which we can use to distinguish an electric field from a magnetic field?
For example, suppose we have an unknown force field, and we insert an electron into the force field, can we determine whether the force field as an elctric field or a magnetic field by observing the trajectory of the electron in the force field?
