Magnetism is a physical phenomenon where materials exhibit attractive or repulsive forces on other objects. It arises from the alignment and movement of charged particles, particularly electrons, within a material.
Certain substances, like iron and cobalt, display ferromagnetism, characterized by strong and persistent magnetic properties. Other types include paramagnetism and diamagnetism.
Magnets have two poles, north and south, and like poles repel while opposite poles attract. Applications of magnetism range from everyday objects like fridge magnets to advanced technologies like MRI machines, showcasing its significance in various scientific and technological domains.
