Magnetic Fields and Forces Concepts

The video introduces the concept of magnetism, explaining how magnetic substances experience force in a magnetic field. It demonstrates an experiment using a bar magnet and iron powder to visualize magnetic lines of force. The activity shows how these lines indicate the direction and strength of magnetic force, being strongest at the poles and weakest at the center. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to explore science further.

What happens when a magnetic substance is brought near a magnet?
