Study Notes

Magnetic Fields

A magnetic field is an area of influence around a magnet where its magnetic force operates.
The magnetic force affects magnetic materials, such as iron, drawing them towards the magnet.
Magnets interact with each other:
- Opposite poles (North and South) attract.
- Like poles (North and North, or South and South) repel.
Magnetic field lines represent the direction of the magnetic force.
- They emerge from the North pole.
- They enter the South pole.
