Document Summary

Magnetism (5. 3: magnetic force, william gilbert (16th century, discovered dipole magnet, like repels, unlike attracts, magnetic field, region of influence of the magnetic material. The magnetic poles wander: the apparent magnetic north pole has been moving further north, and accelerating over time. It is actually moving toward siberia: south pole is also moving. Pairs of poles: breaking apart a magnet makes that many more magnets- each piece keeps the same characteristics. The science of life: magnetic navigation from iron minerals in bacterium react with the earth"s magnetic field.
