Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is a field force since the earth does not have to actually “touch” an object to pull it toward the earth. A magnetic force is a field force that attracts or repels another magnet. Likewise, electric charges cause attracting or repelling forces without actual contact between the charges
