How Do Magnets Generate Forces?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Magnets generate forces through the principles of electromagnetic attraction, specifically between opposite poles. The discussion highlights that the interaction is fundamentally rooted in the electrostatic field combined with relativistic length contraction, which collectively results in the formation of a magnetic field. This explanation is supported by resources such as the one provided by Weber State University.

Hi

Is there an explanation of how,why a magnet create a force ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
electromagnetic attraction between the two different poles (positive and negative).
