• Magnetic field: A region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. It is not a type of charge.
• Electrostatic: Electrostatic charge is the charge that can reside on an object and changes due to the gain or loss of electrons.
• Nuclear: Relates to the nucleus of an atom and is not about charge due to electron gain/loss.
