Magnets:
A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field.
Magnets have two poles: North (N) and South (S).
Like poles repel, and unlike poles attract.
Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Materials:
Magnetic materials: Attracted to magnets (e.g. iron, steel, cobalt, nickel).
Non-magnetic materials: Not attracted to magnets (e.g. plastic, wood, copper).
Types of Magnets:
Permanent magnets: Retain their magnetism over time.
Temporary magnets: Become magnetic only when near a magnetic field.
Magnetic Field:
The region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
Represented using magnetic field lines that go from the North pole to the South pole.
Magnetization and Demagnetization:
Magnetization: Process of making a material magnetic.
Demagnetization: Removing the magnetic properties of a magnet.
Uses of Magnets:
Compasses, electric motors, generators, magnetic locks, etc.
