Simple question. Can a magnet have more push force than the magnet itself weighs.
Example: A magnet weighing 2kg having a push force equal to 3kg.

Yes, a magnet can have more push force than it weighs. This is because the force of a magnet is not determined by its weight, but rather by its magnetic field and the strength of its poles.
Push force, also known as magnetic force, is measured in a unit called Newtons (N). This unit measures the strength of the force exerted by the magnet on another object.
The push force of a magnet is affected by several factors including the strength of its poles, the size and shape of the magnet, and the distance between the magnet and the object it is attracting or repelling.
Yes, the push force of a magnet can be increased by increasing the strength of its poles or by using multiple magnets together. Additionally, the push force can also be increased by decreasing the distance between the magnet and the object it is attracting or repelling.
No, the push force of a magnet is not always greater than its weight. This depends on the strength and size of the magnet, as well as the distance between the magnet and the object it is exerting force on. In some cases, the weight of the magnet may be greater than its push force.
