Answer

Electrostatic force is the fundamental force of attraction or repulsion between any two charged particles. It is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Magnetic force is the force exerted by a magnetic field on moving electric charges or on magnetic materials. It causes attraction or repulsion between magnets and is responsible for phenomena like the operation of compasses and electric motors.
