1.A magnet can attract certain type of metal.
2.The metals that can be attracted by a magnet are called the “magnetic materials” of “ferromagnetic materials”. Examples of magnetic materials are iron, steel, nickel and cobalt.

We also learned that a magnet has 2 poles-the North Pole and the South Pole. There is a magnetic field surrounding the magnet. A magnetic field is a region in the surrounding of a magnet which a magnetic material experiences a detectable force.

Magnetic Field Line

The magnetic filed of a magnet is represented by the magnetic field line. The magnetic field line flowing out from the North pole and flowing into the South pole.
