Magnetic Forces and Fields
The lost-fastener investigation
At a coastal clean-up, Maia uses a bar magnet to sort a mixed tub of objects. She tests each object without touching it. The iron nail and steel paperclip move towards the magnet. The aluminium drink-can tab and plastic bottle cap do not. When she turns the magnet around, the nail still moves towards it. Later, she brings two bar magnets close together: north facing north pushes away, while north facing south pulls together. Small iron filings gather most densely near the two ends of a bar magnet.
