The invention relates to a control method and a control apparatus for a magnetic force operating mechanism. Electromagnetic coils arranged in parallel magnetic field gaps are electrified, so that the electromagnetic coils can move in the parallel magnetic field gaps due to force in a reciprocating manner so as to drive a corresponding movable contact to perform switch-on and switch-off actions; in a switch-on process, a switch-on buffer current which is opposite to the direction of a switch-on current is transmitted to the electromagnetic coils according to set time; and in a switch-off process, a switch-off buffer current which is opposite to the direction of a switch-off current is transmitted to the electromagnetic coils according to set time. The switch-on buffer current and the switch-off buffer current can suffer from opposite force in the up stroke of the electromagnetic coils to perform stroke electromagnetic buffering, so that the movement speed of the electromagnetic coils is effectively lowered, mechanical impact to other parts can be lowered, and switch-off and switch-on jumping and rebound can be weakened.
