Everyday examples of magnets showing North and South poles.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🧲 Magnets have two poles: North and South.
• 🧭 Opposite poles attract (North attracts South), and like poles repel (North repels North, South repels South).
• 🌍 The Earth itself is a giant magnet, with magnetic poles near the geographic poles.
• 📍 Magnetic fields are strongest at the poles.
• 📏 Magnetic force decreases with distance.
