Magnetic force is a ........
a.contact force b.non contact force
c.both of them
d.non of them

Answer 1

$\huge\rm\red { Answer}$

Magnetic force is a $\sf \green { non-contact \: force}$

• a. contact force
• $\sf\green { b.non-contact \: force}$
• c. both of them
• d. non of them

$\huge\rm\red { Explanation-}$

As we know,

• When force is applied without a direct physical contact between the objects they are called non-contact forces.

In magnetic force, there is no need of any physical contact between two bodies , it automatically attracts iron. Thus, it is non-contact force.

_________________________________________________

$\huge\rm\green{ Additionally-}$

Types of non-contact force are-

• Magnetic force

• Gravitational force

• Electrostatic force

• Nuclear force

_____....

Contact force - When force is applied physically through a direct contact between the two bodies, it is called contact forces.

Types of contact forces are -

• Muscular force

• Frictional force

• Elastic force

Answer 2

Answer:-

Magnetic force is a _______.

1. contact force
2. non - contact force
3. non of them.

JUSTIFICATION: Here, there is no physical contact between the objects. It is, therefore, an non contact force.

More:

There are 2 types of forces namely,

• Contact Force,
• Non - contact force.

Contact forces are the forces where objects get in contact and produce force.

Types of Contact Forces:-

1. Frictional Force
2. Muscular Force
3. (Elastic Force)

Types of Non - contact forces:-

1. Gravitation Force
2. Electrostatic/Electric Force
3. Magnetic Force.
4. (Nuclear Force)
