Question

The magnetic force is an example of contact force.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. The force which acts on a body directly or through a connector is called “contact force”.
2. Magnetic force is a non-contact force because for a body to experience a magnetic force, the body need not be in direct physical contact with the magnet.
3. Small iron nails when placed near a magnet are attracted by a magnet despite having no initial physical contact.

Hence, the given statement is false.
