Magnets, action at a distance and fields
Two ways of representing the actions of magnets for the basis of understanding the actions of permanent magnets and other magnetic materials.
- The model of a magnetic material as a series of mini-magnets
- The idea of a field as showing where and how the action-at-a-distance of the magnet will affect magnetic materials
