Compilation of various experiments with magnets and iron filings


Pouring iron filings on a white sheet of paper

  • Single Magnet
    Magnetic field lines made visible on a single magnet (N/S), using iron filings on a white sheet of paper.
  • Two Magnets, Repelling Field Lines
    Repulsing magnetic field lines made visible on two magnets with repelling magnetic field lines due to like poles attracting each other.
  • Two Magnets, Linked Field Lines
    Linked magnetic field lines made visible on two magnets with linked magnetic field lines due to opposite poles attracting each other.
  • Neodymium Magnet
    Pouring iron filings on a white sheet of paper, placed on top of a small neodym cube magnet.
  • Large Round Magnet
    Pouring iron filings on a large round magnet, which is placed below a white sheet of paper.
