Discovery of Magnet; types of Magnet - Fun with Magnets, Science, Class 6 Video Lecture

hello friends this video on fun with
magnets part 2 is brought to you by exam
for calm no more fear from exam now the
question is how was such a beautiful
thing discovered and who discovered that
okay certain objects have this property
that they can attract some of the new
objects now there are a lot of stories
which are normally heard with regards to
the discovery of magnets so the most
common story which is heard is that of a
ship Shepard named Magnus so he was a
shepherd whose name was Magnus and he as
usual Evan as part of his daily routine
yeah he used to take his sheep for a
ship for grazing in the field and one
fine day something different happened he
discovered a mysterious stone and what
was the mystery behind that stone he
found that there was a stone that
attracted his stick so he had a stick
like normally you would have seen that
the Shepherd had have a stick to it
where they take out take their animals
for grazing later he found that and
stick got attracted to a stone in fact
it stuck to that stone and it was kind
of difficult for him to bring his stick
back so he was thinking what why does it
happen why did it happen only with that
particular piece of stone and not with
all the other stones in that area so
actually the reason was that his stick
had a small piece of iron attached at
one end now due to the presence of iron
or iron falls under the category of
those materials which are attracted by a
magnet now the stone was nothing but a
magnet so something like this so there
exists
magnets in nature that is certain stone
certain rocks have a property that they
can attract certain materials so they
are nothing but Batman's
so this is how the first natural magnet
was discovered and after the name of
this Shepherd it was called magnet so
that is one story with regards to the
GNAT discovery of natural magnets then
there is another story which sees that
there was a place named magnesia in Asia
so this was the place called magnesia so
it was seeing that in magnesia many such
magical stones or rocks by found which
has the property of attracting certain
materials so since a lot of magical
stones are a lot of magnets were found
in this region so the name magnet was
given after the name of this place so
the name of the place was madness and
that is why the word magnet was given to
these special type of magical stones or
rocks so this is how magnet was
discovered so it basically nobody
created magnet for the first time magnet
was something which already existed in
nature so these were certain objects
which has this problem which had this
property within them that they could
attract certain specific materials now
today what we see as magnets are there
are many different types of magnets
which we see around us now they are
available in different shapes and sizes
now it is not only the natural magnets
which existed today even artificial
magnets exist to do so today we also go
how to make a magnet so we can create
magnets so basically we have natural
magnets which are a drops with these
kind of magical properties which exist
in nature on their own
and the other set of magnets are those
which are created by us and they are the
artificial magnets so when you talk
about these magnets which exist in
nature these are nothing but the natural
magnets on the other hand when we talk
about magnets of Baileys shapes and
sizes for example this is a bad magnet
so it is like a kind of rectangular body
we also have magnets in the shape of a
user which is also called a horseshoe
magnet now since we are able to you know
kind of manufacture or we can make
magnets so now we can do that in daily
shapes so we also have magnets in the
shape of cylinders these are one
cylindrical magnets we also have magnets
with which have balls at their ends it
is like a rod in between and then two
balls at two ends so these are termed as
the ball ended magnet so this is a ball
ended magnet
so you see variety of magnets are being
created so these all fall under the
category of artificial magnets so you
have some natural magnets and we also
have some artificial magnets
so these artificial magnets are normally
created from iron and since it is
artificially created they come in many
shapes and they are used for different
purpose or depending upon the
application where we want to make use of
this magnet we decide which type of
magnet need to be used thank you please
