Isnt gravity the same concept as magnetic attraction of oppostie poles?

Question

I dont see how they are any different, specifics please?

Answer 1

No. Gravity is 'unipolar'.

Magnetism is 'bipolar'.

This is a very important difference.

Answer 2

NO.  Gravity is a bending of space time due to the existence of mass.  It is not related at all to magnetism.  Unless of course someone comes up with a theory of everything that makes physics a bit clearer.

Answer 3

Interesting. Is there gravity on the moon. When Armstrong walked on the moon, he and his comrades did not fly into space for the reason of limited gravity there. Where are the poles?  Mars has gravity but  is there magnetic attraction or is this planet Earth, unique in the universe

Answer 4

Gravity affects all objects with mass, whereas magnetic attraction only affects ferrous objects, like iron. Also, gravity is a much weaker force than electromagnetism.

Answer 5

No, gravity is what is referred to as a "fictitious force" because it is only an apparent force that effects mass in a non-inertial frame.

Note: Gravity is proportional to the mass of an object and the distance it is from another object.

Mass, however, comes from matter moving throughout spacetime and interacting with something called the higgs field, which contains something like a "graviton" called a higgs boson. It's the interaction of matter moving through this field that lends mass to matter and gravity to mass.

Answer 7

No, gravity is not related to magnetism.  Gravity is the attraction of celestial objects to one another and is a function of mass of and distance between the objects.  Gravity always attracts if the other object is close enough.

Magnetism has a positive and a negative pole and only affects certain materials.  Positive is attracted to negative, but two positives will repel each other, as will two negatives.

Answer 8

no, because there is total symmetry between a "north" and a "south" magnetic pole. a north pole is just a south pole turned around.

so when you turn a magnet around, the two bars will suddenly repel. if you turn a mass around, the gravitational force between them is still attractive.

Answer 9

Gravity is theorized as being a bending of space-time -- all objects with mass exert gravity.

Magnetism only affects ferrous metals -- iron in particular -- and the mechanics behind it are very different.

Answer 10

No. They are similar (parallel) as they both obey inverse square law.

Replace masses with magnetic poles with the same effect.

Magnetic force in conjunction with Electric force constitutes the 'Electromagnetic' force that, like gravitational force, is one of the   4 fundamental forces of nature.
