🧲 Magnetic Dipole Explorer
Discover how magnetic dipoles (magnets with N and S poles) interact
🔬 Interactive Magnetic Field

Instructions: Drag magnets to see realistic dipole interactions! Each magnet has both N and S poles. Like poles repel, opposite poles attract.

🎯 Object Legend
N|S - Magnetic Dipole (Bar Magnet)
Fe - Iron (Magnetic Material)
P - Plastic (Non-magnetic)
📚 Magnetic Dipole Principles

Key Facts

  • 🧲Every magnet has both N and S poles - you cannot isolate a single pole
  • ✓Opposite poles attract (N ↔ S)
  • ✗Like poles repel (N ↔ N, S ↔ S)
  • →Iron objects are attracted to both poles

Magnetic Field

Field lines emerge from North poles and enter South poles. The field pattern shows the complete dipole structure of each magnet.

Try This!

  • • Drag magnets to see dipole interactions
  • • Observe how field lines connect N to S
  • • Move iron objects near magnets
  • • Try aligning magnets in different orientations
  • • Add multiple magnets to see complex fields
