Solution

The force exerted by a magnet is called magnetic force.The push or pull of magnetism can act at a distance, which means that the magnet does not have to touch an object to exert a force on it.
All magnets have the ability to attract other magnets or magnetic objects (such as iron and some other metal objects) due to the property of magnetic field- an area around a magnet where its magnetism affects other objects.
