Electrical fields have there origine in electrical charges, and in changing magnetic fields.

Magnetic fields are generated around moving charges, or more generally speaking whenever there is a changing electrical field.

Magnetic and electrical fields relate strongly with one another, so you mostly find them in compound; even in electromagnetic waves, where they perpetuate each other

Electric field is produced by a charge whether at rest or in motionBut magnetic field is produced only by a moving charge The total magnetic flux through any closed surface is always zero, but the total electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed by the surface multiplied by the reciprocal of absolute permitivity Electric field lines are discontinuous as they have a starting point (+ charge) and an ending point (- charge); But magnetic field lines are continuous, they always form closed loops
