It is similar to gravitational force in some aspects, dissimilar in others. It's best that you read in detail about how both work, to understand the similarities and differences. The Wikipedia might be a good start.Both act at a distance. Gravitation acts on any mass; both electrical and magnetic forces only act on certain types of materials. Gravitation is always attractive. Electrical and magnetic forces can be attractive or repulsive, depending on the exact situation. Unlike electrical charges, you can't separate magnetic "charges" - you can only have dipoles (a combined north and south pole), so a magnet will attract another magnet in one orientation, and repel it in the opposite orientation.

What holds protrons and neutrons together in the nucleus?
The so-called "strong force". It is, precisely, a force between nucleons (protons and neutrons), acts only at very short distances, and is a different force from the better-known electric, magnetic and gravitational forces.The so-called "strong force".

Which of the following is not a consequence of force A Weight B Surface tension C Gravitational pull D Magnetic force E Electrical force?
Change in the mass of a body
Does the gravity affect the magnetic force lines by space distortion?
Magnetic lines of force follow space. If space is distorted by the presence of a large gravitational field, the magnetic lines will be distorted as well. Other than near black holes, this effect is negligible.
Why the gravitational force is absent in space?
Gravitational force is not absent in space. In fact, gravitational force is what keeps the universe together. The planets orbit the sun based on gravitational force.
Does magnetism affect gravity?
No. They are very different.Here are a few differences:-- Gravity creates a force between every two objects. Magnetism only acts between objects made of certain substances that are 'magnetic'.-- Gravity can only attract objects toward each other. Magnetic force can pull objects together and can also push objects apart.-- Magnetic force can be created by an electric current flowing through a wire. Gravitational force can't be created in any way that we know of; it simply exists in the space around any mass.-- You can take a magnet and make it a non-magnet, by heating it or hitting it with a hammer. But there is no way to make a mass stop exerting gravitational force on other masses.-- You can shield yourself from magnetism by wrapping yourself in appropriate substances, (like aluminum foil for example). But there is no shield that blocks gravity out.
What universal force is the weakest electric gravitational or magnetic?
gravitational force.
Is the magnetic force is more powerful then gravitational force?
u r a but
What force is applied to something without making contact with the object?
Gravitational force or magnetic force.
What are examples of field forces?
Gravitational force field, electric force field, magnetic force field.
What force makes objects touch?
gravitational, electrostatic, and magnetic forces
Two forces that don't depend upon physical contact?
gravitational force and magnetic force
Are there forces of attraction in all forces of matter?
The strong force. The weak force. The electro-magnetic force. The gravitational force.
Are there forces of attraction among the particles in matter?
The strong force. The weak force. The electro-magnetic force. The gravitational force.
What is the major force acting on all objects in the universe?
nuclear force,gravitational force,magnetic force and adhesive and cohesive force
What force gravitational or electrical repels as well as attracts?
The gravitational force is only attractive. Electric and magnetic forces can be both attractive and repulsive.
What type of force cause a change in motion?
Every force. mechanical, electrical, magnetic, gravitational, etc.
Is gravitational force different than magnetic force?
Yes, they are different because they have their own different properties.
