    But magnetic force does no work to a charged particle in any way. While gravitational force CAN do work and it does work on most cases(every non circular orbits or just a mass falling down). That’s why magnetic force case is emphasised.

    But on your take about magnets, its not the magnetic force that do the work but the associated electric force

      I suspect I’m using a naive macro model and inaccurate terminology whereas you’re using a micro model and accurate terminology.

      Is there even such a thing as magnetic force? Reading up a bit, it only talks about magnetic fields.
