Question

Is Magnet work in space?​

Answer 1

Yes.

Based on the video of Richard Garriott on the Space Station we can see that magnets do work in space. Of course, he was inside the space station so we can't be positive they work outside where there is no air. But magnets do work away from the earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnets don't need gravity or air. Instead, their power comes from the electromagnetic field they generate all by themselves. One class of magnets, called electromagnets, does need electricity to work. However, if you could run an electric current through one in space, it would still work.
