EForce Inv 3 Electromagnetism

What is magnetic force?

• A force exerted by electrically charged particles

• A force exerted by magnets that can be felt by objects near a magnet

• A force exerted by magnets that makes an object become electrically charged

• A force exerted by a magnet only when it physically touches an object
