What is cost of equity

Hi all, I am new to finance and would like to learn more. I understand that the cost of capital of a company comes from (1) cost of debt and (2) cost of equity.

The cost of debt is the interest that a company need to pay for a loan from bank. How about cost of equity? Is it the rate of return that a company must deliver in order to satisfy the shareholders so that they will keep their share and maintain the share price ? e.g in terms of dividend paid out, increase in earning per share (so share price will rise) ...?

And why is the cost of equity is higher than cost of debt?
