The Magnetic Field exhibit has a fluid-filled chamber.
Suspended in this fluid are metal fillings. When a bar
magnet is placed on top, these fillings cluster and
traces the shape of the magnetic fields at both ends
of the bar magnet. Through this, one is able to observe
the size and shape of the previously invisible magnetic
fields of a magnet. The user could also place two bar
magnets end to end and compare the shape of the magnetic
fields when two like poles are near each other as opposed
to unlike poles.
Magnetic
Fields
is available in the "I AM a Scientist" travelling
exhibit package.
