Safety pins with a magnet
Magnetism. Safety pins, which are made of steel, being attracted to a bar magnet. The magnetic field of the magnet induces a small magnetic field in the steel pins, and the opposite magnetic poles than attract each other. The pins will remain magnetised for a time after the bar magnet has been removed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the fascinating phenomenon of magnetism. The image features a collection of safety pins, typically made of steel, being irresistibly drawn towards a bar magnet. As the magnetic field of the magnet interacts with the steel pins, it induces a small magnetic field within them. This interaction creates opposite magnetic poles that attract each other, resulting in the pins clinging onto the magnet. What makes this experiment even more intriguing is that once the bar magnet is removed, these ordinary safety pins retain their newfound magnetism for some time. It's as if they have acquired a temporary superpower! This mesmerizing display serves as an excellent visual representation of how magnets can influence and manipulate certain materials. The setting appears to be a school or educational environment where students are exploring various scientific concepts like physics and chemistry. Through hands-on experiments like this one, young minds are introduced to fundamental principles such as ferromagnetism and gain valuable insights into how our physical world operates. This thought-provoking photograph not only captures an awe-inspiring moment but also highlights the importance of science education in fostering curiosity and understanding about our surroundings.
