What is a Magnet?
Properties of magnets:
A magnet is something that can attract metal or another Magnets have two opposite poles: north and south.
magnet. A magnet can also repel another magnet. If divided, each part of a magnet will also have a
north and south pole (you can never make an un-
paired pole)
Magnets exert forces on other magnets, called
Magnetic forces
Opposite poles attract (North attracts South)
Like poles repel (North repels North, etc)
