FORCE EXERTED BY

MAGNETS
• Magnets have invincible magnetic field which are attracted
to a certain metals. Magnets do not attract all metals. Objects
made of nickel, iron and cobalt are attracted to magnet.

• There are several types of magnets like ring magnets,

rectangular magnets, horseshoe magnets and bar magnets.
• The ends of the magnets are called its poles. One pole is
called the north pole; the other is the south pole. A magnet
always has both north pole and south pole.
• Rectangular magnet
• Bar magnet
• Horseshoe magnet
• When the poles of the two magnets are put near each other,
they have a force that will either pull them together, or push
them apart.
• If the poles are different, then they will pull together or
attract each other. (One pole is a south pole and one is a
north pole.)
• If the poles are the same, then they will push apart, or repel
each other. (They are either both south poles or both north
poles.)
• The push and pull of a magnet is called magnetism.
