Magnetic field of a bar magnet
Magnetic field of a bar magnet. Iron filings on a sheet of paper after the removal of a bar magnet. The filings mark the lines of the bar magnets magnetic field. The lines radiate outwards from each end (pole) of the bar magnet, forming large loops that circle round to the other pole. Where the lines converge (here, inside the magnet) the magnetic field is strongest. Where they diverge, the field is weakest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnetic field of a bar magnet in all its mesmerizing glory. The image captures iron filings scattered on a sheet of paper, forming intricate patterns that beautifully illustrate the lines of the bar magnet's magnetic field. These lines gracefully radiate outwards from each end or pole of the magnet, creating large loops that elegantly circle around to connect with the other pole. The convergence and divergence of these lines provide valuable insights into the strength and intensity of the magnetic field. As they converge inside the magnet, we witness where this force is at its strongest. Conversely, as they diverge away from each other, we observe areas where the magnetic field weakens. This photograph serves as an excellent visual aid for educational purposes. It can be used in classrooms or laboratories to demonstrate and explain fundamental concepts related to magnetism and physics. Through this simple yet effective experiment using iron filings, students can gain a deeper understanding of how magnets work and visualize their invisible fields. With its clear depiction and scientific accuracy, this print by Science Photo Library offers an engaging way to explore and learn about magnets' properties while appreciating their aesthetic appeal simultaneously.
