What to Focus On

  • Magnetic materials are attracted to a magnet.
  • Iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic materials.
  • Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to a magnet.
  • A magnet has two poles: North and South.
  • Maximum iron filings stick near the ends of a bar magnet.
  • Poles are found at the ends of a magnet.
  • A freely suspended magnet points north-south.
  • The north-pointing end is the North pole.
  • The south-pointing end is the South pole.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A magnet can be broken to get a single North pole or a single South pole.

Iron filings stick equally all over a bar magnet, so the middle is just as strong as the ends.

A freely suspended iron bar and a freely suspended magnet both rest in the north-south direction.

Memory Tips
