Term for forces acting between non-touching objects

Force at a distance

General definition formula for a field

field=force/property\text{field} = \text{force}/\text{property}

Property that creates and is affected by gravitational fields

Mass

Property that creates and is affected by electric fields

Electric charge

What creates and is affected by magnetic fields

Moving electric charges

Magnetic force on stationary charged particles

No force (only affects moving charges)

Direction of gravitational/electric forces relative to field

Parallel to field lines

Direction of magnetic force relative to field

Perpendicular to field lines

Path shape of particles in gravitational/electric fields

Parabolic trajectories

Can magnetic forces do work? Why?

No, perpendicular to displacement (cos90°=0\cos 90° = 0)
