Question

Which of the following force is/are contact force/(s)?

• A. Magnetic forces
• B. Gravitational force
• C. Electrostatic force
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

None of these

A contact force is any force that requires contact to occur and a non-contact Force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The magnitude of non-contact forces depend upon distance between two bodies. The force of attraction or repulsion between two bodies when they are not in actual contact with each other are called non-contact forces. The examples of non-contact forces are the magnetic force, gravitational force, electrostatic force etc.
