There's no direct relationship between the two except probably at temperatures closer to the Big Bang than we can currently achieve. By curving space time a mass changes an electrical field (and bends light) - that's General Relativity - but the gravitation isn't affected by that.

The Wikipedia articles on gravitation and electromagnetism look pretty good.

Shane, I'm sure, will differ.
