Magnetic Force

What is a magnet?

• a substance that exhibits a property called magnetism
• the force of attraction or repulsion of substances, especially those that contain iron, due to the arrangement of their electrons
• a region in which the magnetic fields of individual atoms are lined up
• a device that uses an electromagnet to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy

What is a magnetic domain?
