Magnetism in short is the force and attraction between metals. In this experiment, I tested multiple different types of magnets some with a magnesium and calcium exterior covering for less attraction but predominately iron and neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets. This experiment's purpose is to show how the more magnets you have the more magnetic force you have. The main question during this is experiment was why the spherical magnets were able to attract so many magnets and how the concepts of ferromagnetism and para-magnetism are so important.
Different Types of Magnetism
When talking about magnetism it;s very important that the different forces and attractions are known. This image is a pretty good representation of each different kind of magnetism.
