Activity 8 Magnets and Magnetic Induction Objective: To investigate how magnets interact with other magnets and with non-magnets. Also to discover rules for how magnets can induce an electric current in a coil of wire. Equipment: none required, but if you happen to have a magnet lying around then you can use it. Exploration 1 - What Materials Do Magnets Interact With? Most people have played around with magnets at some point in the past. Maybe you have some magnets stuck to your fridge right now.
