🔬#MESExperiments 37: Interesting Experiments with Magnets and Unmagnetized Steel
In #MESExperiments 37 I demonstrate some very interesting observations of permanent magnets and unmagnetized steel when placed on a large magnet. Small magnets tend to move to the center of the magnet but when lifted they suddenly move to the edge. Small unmagnetized steel balls and screws tend to move to the edge of the magnet both when placed and lifted. However, a larger magnetic ball and large unmagnetized steel bolt both tend to move to the center both when placed and lifted. I also show a cylinder magnet wants to stand vertically in the center but moves to edge when lifted. When placed flat and pushed towards the center, it can launch away!
Finally I show that a tiny magnet behaves completely opposite of a tiny unmagnetized steel screw, both in position and angle direction. The tiny screw balances near the center at and an angle pointing away from center and gradually flattens out when moved to the edge. The tiny magnet balances near the edge at an angle towards the center and gradually flattens out when moved to the center. These are all some very interesting and puzzling experiments which I hope will help us unravel the mystery that is electromagnetism!
