Magnets are materials that attract iron and steel.
They have two poles that act both similarly and differently than electrical charges act. It is fairly easy to detect magnetism, although it is not too easy to measure its strength. You can make a magnet by rubbing steel against another magnet. This lesson will answer those questions and explain the concepts concerning magnetism. Properties of a magnet Just about everyone has seen or played with a magnet.
