Magnets and Electromagnets

physics1.jpgYear 11s in Physics have started their penultimate unit on ‘Magnets and Electromagnets’. They have spent some time finding and plotting the magnetic field of a bar magnet. These photos show the magnetic field. Do you know what we have used to do this? Do you know there are only 3 magnetic elements and one magnetic compound and can you name them? Submit you answer via email to: r.honeyman@penworthamgirls.lancs.sch.uk

Finally, it was quite eye opening for the girls to find out that the Earth’s Geographic North Pole is actually the Earth’s magnetic South Pole! Did you know that?
