Magnetic force is used:
- A door catch or latch on a kitchen cabinet (magnetic catch holds the door closed)
- A directional compass (needle aligns with Earth's magnetic field)

Electric force is used:
- Two socks stuck together coming out of a clothes dryer (static electric charges attract)
- An air filter that traps dust and ion particles (electrostatic attraction/precipitation)
