   Magnet
   A magnet is a piece of one of the so-called ferromagnetic materials which has been magnetized, that is to say it has acquired, either permanently or temporarily, the power of attracting or repelling other pieces of similar material and of exerting a mechanical force on a neighbouring conductor carrying an electric current.

   Magnet
   A simple permanent magnet like a bar magnet has two poles, called 'North' and 'South'. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract. A magnet sets up a magnetic field in three dimensions around itself. Field lines can be drawn to try to represent this magnetic field. The arrows on a field line point from North to South and show the direction a North pole would move. Field lines never cross. Where they are closest together, the field is strongest

   Magnet
   A magnet is a device that produces a magnetic field. Wires carrying electrical current produce magnetic fields which are circular around the wire. When wires are wound into a coil these are called electro-magnets. Another type of magnet is a permanent magnet in which an atoms in the material produce a magnetic field without the need for current. Ma...

    Magnet
    A `magnet` is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. A `hard` or `permanent` magnet is one which stays magnetized for a long time, such as magnets often used on refrigerator doors. Permanent magnets occur naturally in some rocks, particularly lodestone, but are now more commonly manufactured. A `soft` or `impermanent` magnet is one which loses its memory of previous magnetizations. `Soft` magnetic materials are often used in electro...
