Poles and magnetic force

Bar magnet with field lines emerging from the north pole and entering the south pole, a compass aligned with the field, and two unlike poles attracting A magnet produces a magnetic field, so it can exert a non-contact force on magnetic materials and on other magnets. The magnetic effect is strongest at the poles, called north and south.

Magnets and magnetic fields Lesson

GCSE
Physics
Magnets and magnetic fields

Step-by-step lessons covering OCR GCSE Physics Magnets and magnetic fields for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 2 (Foundation Tier) or Paper 3 and Paper 4 (Higher Tier) format. Paper 2 and Paper 4 include synoptic questions that draw on Topics P1–P4, so revisit earlier topics before final exams rather than treating each paper as self-contained.
