Because it's not necessary for objects to be in contact (touching)
in order to feel the magnetic force between them.
The electric (or more accurately, the electromagnetic) force is a non-contact force because it is able to act at a distance. Magnetic fields and electrical fields are able to "reach across" the space between objects because of the fields and the way they extend around the source. Objects can react to the forces without being in physical contact with each other.
Electrostatic force is the force exerted when two charged bodies come in contact with each other. This contact need not be direct. If a charged conductor is brought close enough (without touching) the charged or uncharged body the the positive and negative charges get induced on the either sides of the body without direct contact as mentioned earlier. This force which tends to change the physical state of the body without direct contact is nothing but the Electrostatic force
No. It is false statement. Magnetic force is a non-contact force
Non-Contact ForcesWhile the ball is in the air, one force acting on it is gravity. Gravity pulls the ball down to the earth without touching it. This means it is an example of a non-contact force, or a force exerted on an object that does not make contact with it. Another example of a non-contact force is magnetism. Read more about magnetism.

A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. Ex. Gravity, Magnetism

No, magnetism (the force that makes the needle turn) is a non-contact force.

I have no clue
Magnetism (note the spelling) works even from a distance, so it's a non-contact force. If it can work without touching, it's one.

Magnetic force is a non-contact force.
magnetism, gravity, friction, electricity, contact, non contact, tension, air resistance, water resistance, upthrust and spring force
A contact force, including friction, springs, pushes, pulls, requires the two objects to be in contact for the force to exist. On the other hand, non-contact forces do not require contact; the two objects are separated by space, and yet the force exists. This includes gravity, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear forces.
A non-contact force is any force applied to an object (or body) by another body that is not in direct contact with it. examples; Gravity, Magnetism or nuclear forces. hope this is of some help to you, Courtney - it is gravitational forces, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force... get it!!! by Lachlan Cowan electromagnitism is the same as magnitism but it can be controlled.
