Does magnetism affect gravity

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Magnetism does not directly affect the force of gravity. However, the magnetic force can oppose gravity, for example lifting a paper-clip from the ground with a permanent magnet means that the magnetic force of the magnet is greater than the gravitational pull of Earth.

Answer 3

Magnetism and gravity are two different fundamental forces of nature. While magnetism does not directly affect gravity, there are theories in physics that suggest gravity might interact with other forces, such as electromagnetism, at extreme conditions like in black holes or during the early moments of the universe.
