Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion between objects that have a magnetic field. This force is produced by moving electric charges and is most commonly associated with magnets, which can be either permanent or temporary. The strength of the magnetic force depends on the distance between the objects and the strength of their magnetic fields. In everyday life, magnetic force is responsible for various applications, such as in electric motors, generators, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. It also plays a crucial role in the behavior of compasses, which help navigate by aligning with the Earth's magnetic field.
