 Magnet
 A magnet is a material or object that
produces a magnetic field.

 Magnetic field is invisible but is

responsible for force, that pulls on other
ferromagnetic materials like iron and
attracts or repels other magnets.
 History
 Shepherds grazing cattle on the island of “Magnetia” in
Greece, noticed that their nails in their shoes were
getting stuck to the ground.

 The shepherds were very surprised & enjoyed the play.

 They brought that magic stone home & show it

everyone.

 Since the stone was first found in “Magnetia”, it came

to be known as “Magnet”.
