Attraction between unlike magnetic poles
Attraction between unlike magnetic poles. Clumping of iron filings in the presence of the magnetic field produced the two horseshoe magnets with their unlike poles aligned (labelled N, north, and S, south). This results in magnetic attraction. The magnetised iron filings align due to the interactions between them, even though the magnetic field itself is continuous. Magnetism is a property of ferromagnetic metals (such as iron, nickel and cobalt) caused by the alignment of the spins of the electrons in the metal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing attraction between unlike magnetic poles. The clumping of iron filings in the presence of a magnetic field showcases two horseshoe magnets with their opposite poles aligned - one labeled N for north and the other S for south. This alignment creates a powerful magnetic attraction. The magnetized iron filings, despite being surrounded by a continuous magnetic field, align themselves due to their interactions with each other. This phenomenon highlights the fascinating property of magnetism found in ferromagnetic metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt. It is caused by the alignment of electrons' spins within these metals. The intricate pattern formed by these clumped iron filings demonstrates how even seemingly invisible forces can create beautiful physical patterns. The duo of magnets working together creates an irresistible pull that brings about this striking display. With its exploration into physics and patterns, this print offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of magnets and their behavior when faced with unlike poles. It serves as a reminder that magnetism is not just limited to commercial use but also holds immense scientific significance in understanding our physical surroundings. Captured by Science Photo Library, this image invites us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and scientific wonders hidden within everyday objects such as magnets and iron filings.
