We are working on magnetism in class. Physics of the fifth year aso, but if you hold a magnet under and one above your hand, eg eh, can you feel that? I think so but most say it’s bullshit!
Thanks in advance,

Answer
Most materials react very weakly to magnetic fields, so that in practice this effect can be neglected. Only so-called ferromagnetic materials (iron, cobalt, nickel and their alloys…) react very strongly to magnetic fields.
So unless you have iron in your body, your body reacts extremely minimally with a magnetic field and I doubt you would notice anything.
Your body’s response to a magnetic field is used in medicine in NMR imaging. However, the magnetic fields used for this are much stronger than what a permanent magnet can produce.
