Electric field and magnetic field are different.
Electric field is like whats under large power lines. A magnetic field is like whats in an MRI.

So if you carry a panel close enough to high voltage power lines, they will light up.

Flowing current creates an electromagnetic field. Im not following how you are trying to differentiate an 'electric field' and a magnetic one.

The electric field and the magnetic field are tightly interlinked, in two senses. First, changes in either of these fields can cause ("induce") changes in the other, according to Maxwell's equations. Second according to Einstein's theory of special relativity, a magnetic force in one inertial frame of reference may be an electric force in another, or vice-versa (see relativistic electromagnetism for examples). Together, these two fields make up the electromagnetic field, which is best known for underlying light and other electromagnetic waves.
