Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If you were to change the position of the magnet and placed it off-center on the paper, how would you expect the pattern of iron filings to change?
💡 Hint: Consider how distance from the magnet affects strength.
Design an experiment using different types of magnets (e.g., strong, weak, horseshoe) to compare their magnetic field patterns using iron filings. What differences do you expect to observe?
💡 Hint: Think about how strength influences visualization.
