  • Magnetic Forces on Non-Magnetic Materials: Attraction & Repulsion
    Magnets can exert two types of forces on non-magnetic objects: magnetic force and gravitational force.

    1. Magnetic Force:

    - Magnets exert magnetic forces on other magnetic objects or materials that have magnetic properties, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. These forces can be attractive or repulsive depending on the orientation of the magnetic poles of the magnet.

    - For example, the north pole of a magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet and repel the north pole of another magnet.

    2. Gravitational Force:

    - Magnets also exert gravitational forces on all objects, including non-magnetic objects, due to their mass. Gravitational force is a universal force that attracts all objects with mass toward each other.

    - The gravitational force between a magnet and a non-magnetic object is relatively weak compared to the magnetic force between magnetic objects. However, it is still present and acts on all objects with mass, regardless of their magnetic properties.
