What happens when you put two magnets together

There are many legends that tell us about the discovery of magnets. One of the most common, is that of an elderly shepherd named Magnets, who was herding his sheep in an area of Northern Greece called Magnesia, about 4,000 years ago.

It is said that both the nails in his shoes and the metal tip of his staff became firmly stuck to the large, black rock on which he was standing. This type of rock was later named magnetite, after either Magnesia or Magnets himself.

Magnets are in most electronic devices, in fact, anything that has a motor uses a magnet.

Televisions,

computers, and

microwave ovens

all operate with

magnets.

Magnets are used to keep refrigerator doors closed.

Magnets are even placed in the stomachs of cows

to catch metals!

They are used to slow down roller coasters and subways.

More uses of magnets are found every day!

They can

attract

materials.

They can also

repel other magnets.

They are usually

made of iron.They have two ends called magnetic poles.

• MagnetA stone or a piece of metal that attracts someother metal.

• AttractTo pull towards each other.

• RepelTo push away from each other.

• PolesThe ends of a magnet.

The blue end of a magnet is usually the south pole.

The red end of a magnet is usually the north pole.

Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole.

When two magnets are close, they create pushing or pulling forces on one

another.

These forces are strongest at the ends of the magnets. The two ends of a magnet are known as the north pole and the south pole.

• So now we know that “like” poles repel each other…

• and that “opposite” poles attract each other.

They do this because there is a

between them.

If you try to put two magnets together with the same poles pointing towards one another, the magnets will push away from each other. We say they repel each other.

In this picture two north poles are pushing away from

each other (repelling each other).

If you put two magnets together with different poles pointing towards one another, the magnets will pull towards each other. We say they attract each other.

In this picture a north and a south pole are pulling towards each other (attracting each other).

Magnets can attract other magnets but they can also attract magnetic materials.

Magneticmaterials arealways metalsbut only a fewmetals aremagnetic.

Iron IS magnetic, so any

metal with iron in it will be

attracted to a magnet. Steel

contains iron, so a steel

paperclip, for example, will

be attracted to a magnet.

Most other metals, for example aluminium, copper and gold, are NOT magnetic. An aluminium drinks can, for example, will not be attracted to a magnet.

How do magnets help in a scrap yard?

A car is made up of many different materials. When a car is scrapped the different types of metals need to be sorted. A huge rotating magnet is used to sort the magnetic materials from the non-magnetic materials. Separating the materials allows them to be reused.
