Horseshoe magnet
Horseshoe magnet with various magnetic and non- magnetic objects. Ferrous objects such as a knife and screw are temporarily magnetised by a permanent iron magnet. An aluminium can and other non-metallic objects are left unaffected. Magnetism is mostly a property of metals. It is a force exerted at a distance through a field, generated by moving electric charge (electrons). It can attract or repel

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the power and allure of magnetism. A horseshoe magnet takes center stage, surrounded by an array of magnetic and non-magnetic objects. The mesmerizing display demonstrates the fascinating properties of this force. The photograph captures the temporary magnetization of ferrous objects like a knife and screw as they are drawn towards the powerful pull of the permanent iron magnet. It is intriguing to witness how these metallic items become temporarily enchanted by the invisible forces at play. Contrasting with their attracted counterparts, non-metallic objects such as an aluminum can remain unaffected, emphasizing that magnetism is predominantly a property of metals. This phenomenon highlights how moving electric charges generate magnetic fields that can attract or repel other magnetic materials. Magnetism's influence extends beyond what meets the eye; it is a physical force exerted at a distance through its field. This image serves as a reminder that even in our everyday lives, unseen forces shape our experiences. As we delve into this realm of physics, we uncover new insights into ferromagnetism, discovering how certain materials possess inherent magnetic properties while others do not respond to these alluring forces. In this remarkable snapshot captured by Science Photo Library, we witness both scientific wonder and aesthetic beauty intertwined—a testament to humanity's ongoing exploration and understanding of nature's mysteries.
