Magnets and Electricity

Do only magnets have magnetic fields?

Amost everyone has played with magnets and felt the power of their force. Although you cannot see magnetic fields you can see their effects. Students investigate through several hands-on activities how magnetic fields are related to electric currents. Students construct devices using magnetic fields to produce electricity and use electricity to produce magnetic fields.
