Through Electric field

In both effects the particle acquires a phase shift (φ) while traveling along some path P. In the Aharonov–Bohm effect it is

φAB=qℏ∫PA⋅dx

While for the Aharonov–Casher effect it is

φAC=1ℏc2∫P(E×μ)⋅dx

where q is its charge and μ is the magnetic moment. The effects have been observed together.
