Description

In this simulation, there is a magnet securely attached to the ceiling via a rigid rod and a paperclip is attracted to it at the bottom, rotating on one end. Like a real magnet, when the distance of the magnet is too far from the paperclip, the paperclip will rotate downwards due to gravity. When the magnet is near enough, the paperclip is attracted to the magnet, pointing or following the pole of the magnet due to the magnetic strength of the magnet on magnetic material.

User may experiment with the different material of sheets.

Possible Question

1) Iron

2) Wood

3) Plastic

4) Ceramic
