Answer :

Electric circuit Magnetic circuit
The circuit which contain EMF, current and resistance is called as electric circuit. The circuit which contain MMF, flux and reluctance is called as magnetic circuit.
EMF is the driving force for flow of electrons. The unit of EMF is volts. MMF is the driving force for flow of flux. The unit of MMF is ampere turns.
In electrical circuit, there is a flow of electric current (I) it's unit is ampere. In magnetic circuit, there is a flow of magnetic flux (Φ) its unit is Weber.
Opposition to the flow of current is called as resistance (R). Its unit is Ohm. Opposition to the flow of flux is called as reluctance (S). Its unit is ampere per weber.
Voltage = current × resistance MMF = flux × reluctance
Ohm's law for electric circuit is applicable. Ohm's law for magnetic circuit is applicable.
Conductivity Permeability
Resistivity Reluctivity
Kirchoff's current and voltage law is applicable. Kirchoff's flux and MMF law is applicable.
The electric current density (J) = I/a ampere per metre square. The magnetic flux density (B) = Φ/a Weber per metre square.
Electric intensity (E) = V/d volts per metre.
Magnetic intensity (H) = NI/l ampere turns per metre.

Answer :

Dissimilarities between Electric and Magnetic Circuits:


Electric circuit 
Magnetic circuit
Electric current flows
Flux does not actually flow (it only gets established or set up)
Energy is needed continuously for the flow of current.
Energy is only needed for establishment of field (flux).
Current cannot pass through the insulators. 
Flux can pass through almost all things including air.
Electrical Insulator is available
Magnetic Insulator does not exist.
