About this Simulation

This simulation models the magnetic attraction between a hanging magnet and a paperclip on a sheet. Learners can manipulate the magnet's position and observe how proximity affects the strength of magnetic force, exploring the non-contact nature of magnetism and the relationship between distance and attraction.

Learning objectives: Understand how magnetic force varies with distance between objects | Investigate the invisible nature of magnetic fields and their effects | Apply observation skills to predict and explain magnetic interactions
