  Magnetism is not an energy in itself. Magnets have a force, and if that force is used to move an object over a certain distance, the energy is called work. If energy is â¦ used to hold an object attracted or repelled by the magnet from moving, then there is potential energy stored in the held object/magnet system.
Iron filings can be used to show magnetic fields created by magnets (such as in the picture to the right). Magnets only attract certain types of metals, other materials such as glass, plastic and wood aren't attracted. Metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt are attracted to magnets. Most metals however are not attracted to magnets, these include copper, silver, gold, magnesium, platinum, aluminium and more. They may however magnetize a small amount while placed in a magnetic field. Magnetism can attract magnetic objects or push them away.
