- 1. Magnets are objects that produce a magnetic field which attracts certain materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. They have two poles, the north pole and the south pole, which exhibit opposite magnetic properties. Magnets are used in a wide range of applications such as electric motors, generators, compasses, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. The phenomenon of magnetism has been studied for centuries, leading to significant advancements in technology and science.
