Is Magnetism Both Energy and Force?

[torxxx]

My question is magnetism energy or force?

On the one hand, it is energy because it can be transformed to say electricity, on the other hand is the force because, say, in the alternator, it transfers the mechanical to the electric energy .

This is where you need to go back to basic mechanics to realize that the existence of force implies the presence of "energy". This is because "force" F is the gradient of potential energy field U. Mathematically, the relationship is

F = -∇U

So the answer to your question in the title is : YES.

I agree with @ZapperZ. The question is a false dichotomy.

Magnetism is magnetism. Magnetic fields have energy and also magnetic fields exert force on currents.
