Magnetic Pull in Action
Magnets stick to certain metals because of an invisible force called magnetism. Inside magnets are tiny particles called electrons that all spin the same way, creating a strong magnetic field. When a magnet gets close to metals like iron, nickel, or cobalt, it pulls on the tiny parts inside the metal, kind of like how a vacuum pulls in crumbs!
Not All Metals Attract
Magnets don’t stick to every metal. Metals like aluminum or copper don’t respond to magnetism the same way. It all depends on how the atoms inside the metal behave. Some are arranged in a way that lets magnets “grab” them, while others aren’t. That’s why your magnet sticks to the fridge but not to a soda can.
FAQs
Q: Why do magnets stick to fridges?
A: Most refrigerators have a thin layer of iron in the door, which magnets love!
Q: Can magnets lose their stickiness?
A: Yes, if they’re dropped a lot or get too hot, they can lose their magnetic power over time.
🌀 Conspiracy Theory Corner
Some people think magnets are powered by ancient hidden energies or secret frequencies, but it’s just physics, not wizardry!
