Question

Why are field and force different from each other?

Answer 1

Force and field can be thought as cause and effect , where field is the cause and force is the effect of that field , there is a field existing which depicts the pattern with which an object will experience a force ,so field is a mathematical concept which allows us to interpret what kind of forces will be acting if an object comes under its influence

For example electrostatic field can be visualised through lines of field and a charge will experience a force whenever it comes under the influence of this field
