- North and South are the two different magnetic characteristics. They are responsible for magnetic force.
- Similar magnetic poles (i.e. north and north, or south and south) repel one another.
- Dissimilar poles (north and south) attract one another with a force at a distance.
- To map a magnetic field we need to use a test compass.
-The Earth acts like a giant magnet, producing its own magnetic field. It is suggested that this magnetic field is produced because of the flow of hot liquid metals inside Earth.
- Magnetic forces act on ferromagnetic objects (certain metals that are not magnets.) Some ferromagnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt. They have atomic structures that make them strongly magnetic.
-Domain Theory:
All large magnets are made up of many smaller, and rotatable magnets, called dipoles, which can interact with other dipoles close by. If the dipoles line up, then a small magnetic domain is produced.
