Visualizing Magnetic Fields with Ferrofluid

The video tutorial explains how to make invisible forces visible in science, particularly focusing on magnetic fields. It demonstrates the use of ferrofluid on a strong magnet to visualize magnetic field lines, showing how the spikes form and change with distance. Additionally, it uses iron filings on a square magnet to illustrate magnetic field lines in two dimensions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of visualizing scientific phenomena to enhance understanding.

What is one method mentioned for making invisible phenomena visible in science?
