What is a Magnet?

 

 

Magnets are objects that produce an area of magnetic force called a magnetic field

 

Magnets are made up of iron, nickel or cobalt.

 

Magnets only attract certain types of metals. Magnets do not attract to other materials such as: glass, plastic and wood.

 

Magnets have a north end and a south end, that either pull other metals made up of iron, nickel or cobalt in or push them away.
