The (1) the magnet, the more intense is the field. Objects that are attracted to the magnet feel a force (2) as magnetism when they are inside the magnetic field. This magnetic force can pass through some materials. Even a weak magnet will attract a pin to the other side of a sheet of paper, for example. Magnets come in (3) shapes. A familiar one is the curved horseshoes magnet. There are also bar magnets in the form of disc or a stubby cylinder. Every magnet has (4) poles, called north and south, at opposite ends of it: at the two ends of a horseshoes magnet, for example, or on the two sides of a disc.
