A basic introductory system to study the magnetism produced by various permanent magnets. The Magnetics System 1 permits the demonstration of the characteristics of various shaped magnets. In this system we study basic magnetic flux lines (of various shaped permanent magnets in 2D and 3D), deflection of a magnetic needle, compasses, magnetic dipoles, magnetic hysteresis, eddy currents, Earth's magnet, etc.
