Tip of the Day : 28 April
Increase the strength of a magnetTo increase the strength of a magnet, it is necessary to point all the atoms in the same direction. For this, fill a large dish with water almost at the edge. Place a small piece of wood on the water and place your magnet on top. The 2 pieces should float. Wait until the wood stops completely. Then take the magnet and place it on a table, being careful not changing its direction. Protect your eyes with protective equipment. Hold the magnet in the middle and strike its end several times quickly with a hammer. Test your magnet. P.S.: Protect your fingers too. |
