Is the statement below always true:
Work done by a magnetic field is zero.
If it is. How do magnets attract iron?

A magnetic field is an invisible force field created by electrically charged particles in motion, such as the movement of electrons in atoms. It is responsible for the attractive or repulsive forces between magnets and magnetic materials.
A magnetic field is created when electrically charged particles are in motion. This can occur naturally, such as in the Earth's molten core, or through artificial means, such as by passing an electric current through a wire.
A magnetic field has direction and strength. The direction of a magnetic field is determined by the orientation of the magnetic poles, while the strength is determined by the intensity of the electric current or the distance from the source.
A magnetic field can interact with other objects in various ways, depending on the properties of the objects. For example, a magnetic field can cause a magnet to attract or repel another magnet, or it can induce an electric current in a conductor.
Yes, a magnetic field can be blocked or shielded by certain materials, such as iron or steel, which are highly permeable to magnetic fields. This is why magnets are often encased in metal to prevent their magnetic field from affecting other objects.
