Answer 2

Answer:

Magnetic fields

A magnet creates a magnetic field around it. You cannot see a magnetic field, but you can observe its effects. A force is exerted on a magnetic material brought into a magnetic field. The force is a non-contact force because the magnet and the material do not have to touch each other.

Finding magnetic fields

You can use a plotting compass or iron filings to detect a magnetic field:

put a piece of paper over a magnet (this stops the iron filings sticking to the magnet)

sprinkle iron filings onto the paper

gently tap the paper to spread the filings out

observe and record the results
