Repulsion between like magnetic poles
Repulsion between like magnetic poles. Clumping of iron filings in the presence of the magnetic field produced by two like poles of two bar magnets. This results in magnetic repulsion. The magnetised iron filings align due to the interactions between them, even though the magnetic field itself is continuous. Magnetism is a property of ferromagnetic metals (such as iron, nickel and cobalt) caused by the alignment of the spins of the electrons in the metal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of repulsion between like magnetic poles. The image showcases a duo of bar magnets, each producing its own magnetic field. As these identical poles face each other, their magnetic fields interact, resulting in a powerful force of repulsion. The clumping of iron filings within this magnetic field is truly fascinating to behold. These tiny particles align themselves due to the interactions between them, creating intricate patterns and shapes that illustrate the invisible forces at play. Despite the continuous nature of the magnetic field itself, it is through this alignment that we witness the manifestation of magnetism. Magnetism is an inherent property found in certain metals such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. It arises from the alignment of electron spins within these ferromagnetic materials. In this photograph, we can observe how even seemingly insignificant iron filings respond to these underlying forces with remarkable precision. The visual representation provided by Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity behind magnetism's influence on physical matter. This image serves as a reminder that there are countless wonders yet to be discovered within our world's natural laws and phenomena – mysteries waiting for curious minds to unravel them further.
