An object that attracts certain kinds of metals, especially iron, is called amagnet. The area near the magnet
where the magnet can act to attract thingsis called its magnetic field. The farther away from the magnet an item is,
theweaker the magnetic field is, and the less likely an object is to become attractedto the
magnet.
The two ends of the magnets are called magnetic poles. The poles, whichare found at the ends of bar magnets
and the tips of the horseshoe magnets, arethe strongest parts of the magnet. Each magnet has a north pole and a
southpole. Opposite poles attract each other (pull toward each other), and same polesrepel (push away from each
other). So a north pole and a south pole will pulltoward each other, and two North’s or two South’s will push away
from eachother. If you are holding the magnets, you can actually feel the push and pulleffects of magnetism.
