Iron filings with a magnet
Magnetism. Iron filings being attracted to a bar magnet. The magnetic field of the magnet induces a small magnetic field in the iron filings, and the opposite magnetic poles than attract each other. The iron filings will remain magnetised for a time after the bar magnet has been removed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of magnetism. The image features a bar magnet surrounded by iron filings, creating a visually stunning display of attraction and magnetic fields at work. As the powerful magnetic field of the bar magnet interacts with the iron filings, it induces a small magnetic field within each filing. This causes an intriguing effect where opposite magnetic poles attract each other, resulting in the beautiful patterns seen in this photograph. Even after removing the bar magnet, the iron filings retain their temporary magnetization due to their ferromagnetic properties. This lingering effect adds another layer of fascination to this snapshot captured by Science Photo Library. The intricate dance between metal and magnetism depicted here not only highlights one of nature's fundamental forces but also serves as a reminder of how physics plays an essential role in our everyday lives. Understanding these principles allows us to harness and utilize magnets for various applications across different industries. Science Photo Library continues to provide remarkable visuals that inspire curiosity and promote scientific understanding. Through images like this one, they invite us into the captivating world where science meets art, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
