Magnet

Magnet [noun]

1. Definition: A magnet is an object that possesses a magnetic field and attracts certain materials, such as iron or steel.

2. Opposite: While magnets attract certain materials, their opposite would be objects that repel magnetic materials, such as diamagnetic substances.

3. Synonym: In German, a synonym for “Magnet” is “Magnetstein” or “Magnetkörper.”

4. Example: One common example of a magnet is the type used to attach papers to a refrigerator door. These magnets are made of materials that can produce a magnetic field.

Remember that magnets have both a north and south pole. Similar poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.\ Visit YouGlish.com
