AI Thread Summary
Creating a remote control for manipulating the force of magnets involves understanding the distinction between permanent magnets and electromagnets. Electromagnets can be controlled remotely to adjust their magnetic force, while permanent magnets typically require mechanical methods, such as levers, to switch their magnetism on and off. To increase the magnetic force, one can utilize electromagnets, as they allow for variable strength through electrical current adjustments. However, enhancing the force of permanent magnets is more complex and depends on the specific application, such as in speakers. The feasibility of increasing a magnet's force largely depends on the intended use and the methods available, indicating that if a simple solution existed, it would have already been implemented.

is it possible to create a remote that can control the force acting on a magnet? for example is, to stop one magnet from attracting or repulsing other metals. or making a magnet adjust the force it apply to other object.

Or do you mean how to switch a permanent magnet on and off? This is a magnetic base for dial indicators:

The lever switches the permanent magnet base on and off. And this is a magnetic chuck used in machine tools:
Mag table.jpg

It also has a lever to switch the magnets on and off.

In both cases, the lever rotates an internal permanent magnet so that the base/table surface is either magnetized or not magnetized.

thank you, then what is the proper way in raising or lowering the amount of force that a magnet exert?

To increase the range of force, you have to increase the magnetism. That should be doable with an electromagnet.

If it was both easy and needed, it was done long ago.
The method used will depend on what are you trying to achieve.
You need to explain; why do you need a stronger or a variable magnet?
