    Magnets are made from magnetic materials like iron and steel. Bar magnets are permanently magnetized with a north and south pole. Unlike poles of magnets attract each other, while like poles repel. The region around a magnet where it exerts a magnetic force is called its magnetic field. Magnetic field lines show the shape and strength of the magnetic field, emerging from the north pole and entering the south pole.

    What are magnets?


    Magnets are made from magnetic materials, such
    as iron and steel. These are metals that can be
    magnetised or are attracted to a magnet.

    Bar magnets are permanent magnets. This means they


    are always magnetised. Each magnet has two poles:

     north pole (N)  south pole (S)

    Attraction and repulsion
    What happens if you bring two bar magnets together?
     If a north pole and a south pole are brought together,
    they attract and the magnets are pulled together

     If two north poles or two south poles are brought together,


    they repel and the magnets push each other apart.

    We say that unlike poles attract, and like poles repel.

    What is a magnetic field?
    The region around a magnet where it has a magnetic
    effect is called its magnetic field.

    When a magnetic material


    is placed in a magnetic field
    it will experience a force.

    The iron filings feel the


    effect of the magnetic field
    and line up along the
    direction of the forces in
    this region.

    Magnetic field lines
    The shape of a magnetic field can be shown by drawing
    magnetic field lines. These always point from the north
    pole of a magnet to the south pole, along the direction of the
    magnetic forces in each region.
    Where is the magnetic
    field strongest?
    the field is
    strongest
    at the poles
    The closer together
    the magnetic field
    lines, the stronger
    the magnetic field.
    the field is weakest further
    away from the poles
