About this Simulation

This simulation models the dynamic interaction between two bar magnets placed on a level surface. Learners can observe how magnets attract and repel each other, how they move across the surface, and what happens when they collide. Real-time position and velocity tracking reveal the forces at work in magnetic interactions.

Learning objectives: Understand that magnets exert forces on each other without touching | Explore how magnet orientation affects attraction and repulsion | Investigate how magnetic forces cause motion and acceleration
