The video tutorial explains the concept of magnetic force using a bar magnet and an iron nail. It demonstrates that magnetic force is a non-contact force, meaning it can act at a distance without direct contact. The tutorial introduces the concept of a magnetic field, an invisible area around a magnet where magnetic forces are exerted. An analogy with Wi-Fi signals is used to explain how the strength of the magnetic field varies with distance from the magnet, being stronger closer to the magnet and weaker further away.
