N ๐Ÿ”ด โ†โ†’ ๐Ÿ”ต S
Every magnet has a North (N) pole and a South (S) pole. Opposite poles ATTRACT โ€” they pull together. Like poles REPEL โ€” they push apart!
Earth itself is a giant magnet โ€” that is how compasses work!
๐Ÿ”— Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic
โšก Electromagnetism

When electricity flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field! This is called electromagnetism. Coiling the wire around a metal core makes the effect much stronger โ€” creating an ELECTROMAGNET.
