Tag: comparing force in magnetic, electric and gravitational fields

Gravitational force acts at a distance. Therefore it is a non-contact force.

A force applied on an object without any contact it is non-contact force, Examples are magnetic force, electrostatic force etc.

Magnetic force and electrostatic forces are non-contact force as the force applied on an object without any contact with it, similarly, with gravitational force this is force applied without being aware of it and all time.

Unlike poles of the two magnets attracts each other. the force applied by it is non-contact forces and magnetic force.

Like poles of two magnets repel each other, The force between them is non contact force and magnetic force

Being hit by a bat, muscular force acts on the  ball. And, all the bodies on the earth are acted upon by  the gravitational force. So, the ball is acted upon by both muscular and gravitational force.

Gravity is not a property of the earth alone. Every object in the universe exerts a force on every other object. This force is known as the gravitational force.

The attraction or repulsion can also be referred as pull or push force between two objects.

Electrostatic force is a exerted by a charged body on another changed or uncharged body.

Gravitational force is a non-contact force. For action of gravitational force, contact with an object is not required. The force of gravity acts on all object at all the time even while not in contact with the earth.
