Answer:
1.) No. Magnetic forces are non contact forces; they pull or push on objects without touching them. Magnets are only attracted to a few 'magnetic' metals and not all matter. Magnets are attracted to and repel other magnets. Magnetic forces 'act through' non-magnetic materials but not through magnetic materials - so magnetic can be used as a shield around a magnet.
2.) Yes. Magnetic forces 'act through' non-magnetic materials but not through magnetic materials. The force exerted by a magnet is called The push or pull of magnetism can act at a distance, which means that the magnet does not have to touch an object to exert a force on it. Magnets can also repel, or push away, objects.
