Is magnetism an energy or force?

Neither. A magnetic field can and does contain energy. But this is no different from the fact that a book on a bookshelf contains gravitational potential energy, that you can release by dropping the book onto the floor. A magnetic field can also exert a force. read more

Magnetism is related to a magnetic field,which has both force and potential energy.So its energy is related to its potential energy.Any natural field has force carries by its boson,and has at any point in its field space potential energy. read more

When comparing Magnetism (cintered or rare earth - not electro magnetic) and gravity how does physics determine them as different. Apart from the fact that magnetism is predominately iron or ferrite orientated and polarised. read more
