How are a gravitational field and an electric field similar?
To explain: The similarity between gravitational field and electric field.
Explanation of Solution
The gravitational and electric fields are both similar in that they both:
(a) Both are vector field in nature, and have magnitude and direction
(b) Both field transmit between objects
(c) Magnitude of both field is inversely as the square of the distance
(d) Range of both field is extend to infinite
