Magnetism: Why Magnets Push, Pull, and Point North
from GCSE Science Simplified (All GCSE Science in one place) · host Thom Izod
Why do magnets push and pull without touching? Why does a compass always point north? In this episode of GCSE Science Simplified, we explore magnets and magnetic fields using clear, real-life examples you’ll recognise. Learn the difference between permanent and temporary magnets, which materials are magnetic, how invisible magnetic fields are modelled using field lines and plotting compasses, and what this tells us about the Earth’s core. Ideal listening for GCSE students who want to understand magnetism with confidence.
