Magnets
• A magnet is an object that attracts iron or steel objects.
• When objects attract, they pull toward each other.
• If an object and a magnet attract each other, the object is magnetic.
All magnets have forces that act on other magnets.
• The force between two magnets can either be a push or a pull.
• The poles are the places on a magnet where the forces are strongest.
• All magnets have 2 poles.
• A magnet does not have to touch an object to push or pull it.
On some magnets, the poles are labeled N for north pole and S for south pole.
• 2 unalike poles will attract each other.
• 2 like poles will repel. • When a magnet repels,
it pushes an object away from itself.
