Magnetism app for iPhone and iPad

This App helps in interactively exploring the topic on "Magnetism" using simulations.

These simulations raise the inquisitiveness and help to experiment and find solutions like -
- Why most of the iron filings cling to the poles of the Magnet rather than the center?
- What happens to the poles when you break a magnet?
- How to use a magnetic compass ?
- Can you turn an iron bar into a magnet ?

List of simulations in this app -


1. Permanent Magnetism - Find out how an iron bar can be turned into a Permanent Magnet
2. Induced Magnetism
3. Interaction between Magnets
4. How magnetic field lines respond while moving the magnets
5. How to use a compass
6. What happens to the poles when you break a magnet
7. Identifying Magnetic field lines
8. Magnetic field lines - properties
9. Magnet picking up iron foils
10. Iron Filings and Magnetic Field Lines
11. A working compass
12. Quiz

Terms and vocabulary associated with Magnetism is briefly explained along with the list of activities.

To finish it off, you can take a quiz on Magnetism and do a recap. With both the virtual lab simulations and theory packed together, the concepts will become crystal clear.
