where and how magnets are used in our house and our sorroundings ?
Answers
Powerful neodymium magnets are used for much more than fancy fridge magnets. In fact, magnets have permeated our lives so much recently, in ways that aren’t always obvious, that we are surrounded by magnets more than ever.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the amazing and unexpected ways that magnets have transformed modern life. Rather than look at where magnets are used everywhere in the world, we’ll limit the discussion to magnets found in a typical home.
