- How Magnets Work - HowStuffWorks
Magnets are objects that produce magnetic fields and attract metals like iron, nickel and cobalt The magnetic field's lines of force exit the magnet from its north pole and enter its south pole Permanent or hard magnets create their own magnetic field all the time
- How Do Magnets Work? | Physics, Attract, Repel | Britannica
Magnets work because of magnetic fields which arise from the motion of electric charges This field exerts forces on other magnetic objects and moving charges, causing attraction or repulsion
- Magnet - Wikipedia
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc and attracts or repels other magnets
- How Do Magnets Work? The Physics Behind Magnetism
How do magnets work, and why do they attract or repel certain materials? This article will take you on a journey through the physics behind magnetism, unraveling its secrets, exploring its many manifestations, and revealing how this invisible force shapes the world around us
- Magnetism - National Geographic Society
When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field The piece of iron has become a magnet Some substances can be magnetized by an electric current
- How Magnets Work - Real World Physics Problems
In permanent magnets, the magnetic fields of the electrons add together to produce a net magnetic field surrounding the magnet In non-magnetic materials, the magnetic fields of the electrons cancel out, producing no net magnetic field surrounding the material
- How Do Magnets Work? Exploring the Magical World of Magnetism! – KIDS . . .
Magnets can be small enough to stick on your refrigerator, or huge enough to lift cars in junkyards But what makes magnets so magical? A magnet has an invisible area around it called a magnetic field This field is what gives the magnet its special power
- How do magnets work physics? - California Learning Resource Network
This article delves into the physics behind magnetic behavior, exploring the role of electron spin, quantum interactions, and the macroscopic manifestation of magnetic fields
