Magnets have a magnetic field about them. This field can act on objects without the magnet coming in contact with the object.

Do hot objects move heat to other objects without touching them?
yes
What objects are similar because they are both areas where forces can act without objects touching?
electric current
Why is gravitation an example of a nonxontact force?
It acts on objects at a distance without touching them.
Which best explains why magnets can push on or pull other magnets without touching them?
The force is very great and is able to travel through the air to find another source which relates to itanswers on ple.platoweb.com
When two objects transfer electrons without touching?
This process is called induction by an electrical field.
Can magnets attract objects without touching them?
A magnet has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic field causes a magnetic force that can attract objects to the magnet.
What is a metal that can attract other materials without touching them?
Iron, Nickel and cobalt are attracted to magnets, these are field forces because they act on an object without touching it
Why paper flip attract to magnet?
Magnets are one of the rare items found in nature that are able to exert control over other objects without actually touching them. If you hold a magnet close to a certain type of object, it will either attract or repel it. This is due to the principles of magnetism.
How do magnets make things without touching them?

Do magnets repel nonmagnetic materials?
Magnets attract magnetic materials such as iron. Magnets either attract or repel other magnets depending on the polarity. Magnets repel diamagnetic materials. Most diamagnetic materials (bismuth, diamond, graphite, silver) are only weakly repelled. Super conductors are strongly diamagnetic, and are more strongly repelled.

This process is called induction by an electrical field.
What is a magnets magnetic field?
Whatever it is that enables a magnet to push another magnet without ever touching it, is called the "magnetic field". It is an invisible attribute of a magnet that surrounds the magnet and exerts forces on other magnets and some non magnets, like iron.
