What to Focus On

  • Natural magnets are made of magnetite and are found in nature.
  • Artificial magnets are man-made and stronger than natural magnets.
  • Magnets come in different shapes: bar, cylindrical, U-shaped, horseshoe, magnetic needle, and compass.

  • Magnetic substances: iron, nickel, cobalt, steel.
  • Non-magnetic substances: wood, plastic, glass, copper, aluminum.
  • Magnetic substances are also called ferromagnetic materials.

  • A freely suspended magnet aligns in the north-south direction.
  • Magnetic attraction is strongest at the poles.
  • Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel; unlike poles (N-S) attract.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The North Pole of a magnet points to the Earth's magnetic North Pole.

All metals are attracted to magnets.

Breaking a magnet separates the north and south poles.

Memory Tips

Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic Materials

Earth’s Magnetic Field: Magnetic South near Geographic North

Poles always exist in pairs
