Magnetic field of a bar magnet
This means that their magnetism is there all the time and cannot be turned on or off as it can with an electromagnet. Converting a magnet to a non-magnet is called demagnetisation. Magnets are ...

The position of the magnetic north pole is officially changing. Why?
Because Earth's magnetic field is slightly asymmetrical and more complex than that of a regular bar magnet, the magnetic south pole — the point in the Southern Hemisphere where the magnetic ...

Chirping chorus rings out from an unexpected part of outer space
They are usually detected in areas of space where Earth’s magnetic field resembles that of a giant bar magnet (a dipole), out to around 51,000 km above Earth’s surface, beyond geostationary ...
