What is a Magnet?
Magnetism is actually a very broad term which can (and should) be broken down further to be useful.
Put simply a magnet is a material which produces a magnetic field.
This could be a permanent magnet (e.g. iron fridge magnet), an electromagnet (e.g. scrap yard magnet), a paramagnetic material (e.g. water or liquid oxygen).

Showing a Magnetic Field
Draw a simple bar magnet with plenty of space around it on a sheet of A4.
In PENCIL sketch the shape of the field lines you predict.
In pairs hold the paper above the magnet but do not let them touch.
Meanwhile the other partner will sprinkle iron fillings onto the paper.
Remove the magnet carefully by lifting the sheet and place down so you can sketch the field lines while the iron fillings are still there.
Carefully put them back in the shaker.

Magnetic Fields
Key Ideas:
Field lines never cross
Field lines exit from North Pole and enter the South Pole
The density of field lines is proportional to the magnitude of the force.
The direction of the magnetic field is given by the direction of the force that would act on another north pole placed at that point.

Domains and Magnets
Magnetic materials are made of domains, small magnetic regions. When these domains align (right) the material will produce a large magnetic field. When they do not align (left) the domains cancel out and no magnetic field is created.

Hitting a magnet with a hammer or similar will throw all the domains out of line and therefore demagnetise the metal.
Heating to a high temperature has a similar effect.

Induced Magnetism
Other materials can also have magnetism “induced”. Think of paper clips or pins, they will still be attracted to a magnet if placed within a magnetic field but wouldn’t normally have a magnetic field themselves. In this situation they act as a magnet, but only whilst in the magnetic field. This is called induced magnetism.

Objects that are made of unmagnetised iron, cobalt and nickel are attracted to either pole of a magnet, but never repelled.
Objects which are not attracted to either pole are not magnetic
You can only show that an object is a magnet if it repels another magnet.
