The false statement is: All magnets keep a permanent magnetic field.

This statement is false because not all magnets maintain a permanent magnetic field. For example, temporary magnets (like those made from certain soft iron materials) can exhibit magnetism only when in the presence of a magnetic field and lose their magnetism once the field is removed.
