Exploring the Force of Magnetism

The video tutorial introduces magnetism, explaining its presence in everyday objects and the atomic-level causes of magnetic forces. It covers magnetic materials, the concept of attraction and repulsion, and the applications of magnets in technology, such as MRI scanners and maglev trains. The tutorial also discusses natural magnets and Earth's magnetic field, concluding with a review of key concepts.
