"A magnet is a material or object that produces aninvisible magnetic field which can attract to

ferromagnetic materials"

A magnet in its simplest form, is a material that generates a magnetic field. The magneticfield is produced from the magnets’ goal to find the easiest (shortest) route from the NorthPole to the South Pole, and vise versa. The magnetic field of a magnet can not be seen but isthe reason for the ‘pulling force’ to other magnets and ferrous materials. A larger magnetwill inevitably have a larger magnetic field and will attract objects from further way.

If you attach a bar magnetto a piece of wood andfloat it in a bowl of water,it will slowly turn and themagnet's North Pole will point towards the Earth's North Pole

A compass has a tiny bar magnet init and it works in the sameway so that explorers can

find their way
