Demonstrate the Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet

A bar magnet is placed on a table and then fully covered with a sheet of paper. Iron fillings are sprinkled on the paper above the magnet and the paper is taped.

Observation:

It will be seen that the iron fillings create a pattern on the paper. The pattern is sketched and recorded.

Discussion:

The pattern the iron fillings made shows the areas where the magnetic field of the magnet can be found.

Conclusion:

Every magnet has magnetic field where force or influence can be felt but it is not visible to the eye.
