Magnets

Different shape magnets for a wide number of magnetism experiments

In physics, magnetism is one of the phenomena by which materials exert an attractive or repulsive force on other materials.

Some well known materials that easily exhibit detectable magnetic properties are iron, some steels and the mineral lodestone; however, all materials are influenced to a greater or lesser degree by the presence of a magnetic field.

Altay offers a wide variety of permanent magnets.
