Magnets have lone pair of electrons in its loosely bounded Shell (valence orbit) the electrons are in spin motion in orbitals In the orbital which don't have two electrons to cancel each other effect of spinning, causes a field around it. Therefore it created a field around the whole element

How far can magnets be to attract a magnet or metal?

The distance at which magnets can attract each other depends on the strength of the magnets. Generally, the attractive force decreases as the distance between two magnets increases, following an inverse square law. For small magnets, the typical attraction distance is a few inches, but for larger or stronger magnets, it can be several feet.


What is a properties and interactions of magnets?

Magnets have two poles, North and South, which exert attractive or repulsive forces on each other. They create magnetic fields around them, which can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Magnets can also interact with electric currents, producing electromagnetism.

What is the nature of the force between electric charges and magnets, and is it attractive or repulsive?

The force between electric charges and magnets is known as electromagnetic force. It can be both attractive and repulsive, depending on the charges and poles involved. Opposite charges and poles attract each other, while like charges and poles repel each other.


What force include attractive and repulsive interactions?

Electrostatic forces


Are permanent magnets only attracted to other permanent magnets?

No, permanent magnets can also be attracted to ferromagnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel. This attraction is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the materials, resulting in an attractive force between the permanent magnet and the ferromagnetic material.


What are some examples of an attractive force?

Examples of attractive forces include gravitational force between two objects, magnetic force between two magnets, and electrostatic force between charged particles.
