Hi
Is there an explanation of how,why a magnet create a force ?

The mechanism behind magnetic forces is the interaction between electrically charged particles, specifically electrons, and the magnetic field. When charged particles move, they create a magnetic field around them. This magnetic field then interacts with the magnetic field of other particles, either attracting or repelling them.
Magnetic forces work by exerting a force on charged particles in a magnetic field. This force is perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of motion of the particle. The strength of the force depends on the charge of the particle, the strength of the magnetic field, and the velocity of the particle.
Attractive magnetic forces occur when two magnetic poles of opposite polarity (north and south) are brought close to each other. The magnetic fields of these poles interact, causing them to be pulled towards each other. Repulsive magnetic forces occur when two magnetic poles of the same polarity are brought close to each other. The magnetic fields repel each other, causing a pushing force.
The strength of magnetic forces decreases with distance. The farther apart two charged particles are, the weaker the force between them. This is because the magnetic fields created by the particles become less concentrated as they spread out over a larger area.
Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that deals with the interaction between electricity and magnetism. It explains how electrically charged particles create magnetic fields and how magnetic fields can produce electric currents. The mechanism of magnetic forces is based on the principles of electromagnetism and the interaction between electric and magnetic fields.
