An electric force acts on a static charge, while a magnetic force acts on a moving charge. Also a moving charge creates a magnetic field, while a static charge does not.

The electric force is F=qE, and the magnetic force is F= q (v X B); F is force, q is charge, E is the electric field v is the velocity of the charge, and B is the magnetic field.

I am not sure how much your teacher has gone into the development of magnetic and electric fields which would help further explain the phenomenon of electro-magnetic forces and their distinct difference. While an electric force is independent of a charge's velocity and direction, the magnetic force is created perpendicular to the charge's direction.
A basic statement is to relate induction (inductors) to the creation and collapse of magnetic fields / force, and capacitance (capacitors) maintain a charge of electric potential so you can generate current, an electric pulse with discharged.
