Magnetism: Crash Course Physics #32
Season 1
Episode 32
Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Two of the same pole will repel each other, while opposites attract. Only certain materials, especially those that contain iron, can be magnets. And there’s a magnetic field around Earth, which is why you can use a compass to figure out which way is north. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini takes us into the world of magnetism!

Sunlight, moonlight, torchlight... They all work the same. Let's talk about light!
Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics.
