Magnets


This is a picture of the side of my refrigerator. My mom put a lot of these heart magnets on it, but I never realized they were related to physics. An object is a magnet when it creates a magnetic field and exerts a magnetic force. A bigger magnetic field creates a stronger magnet. The magnets have a north and south pole on them, and they are attracted to the metal of the refrigerator. They are strongest at their poles, instead of the center.
