Magne(t)tisch (Magnetic Table)
What does a magnetic field look like?
Move a magnet across the table and watch countless tiny magnetic needles align along the field lines. This makes an invisible magnetic field visible.
The Science Behind It
Each needle is a small magnet, like a tiny compass. Without an external magnet, the needles align with Earth’s magnetic field. Bring a magnet close, and its field combines with Earth’s magnetic field. The needles now follow the stronger field and reveal its structure in space. This makes invisible forces visible.
