Magnetic Attraction

AsSalyamu `Aleykum wa RahmatuLlahi wa Barakatuh,

Equipment: two magnets, paper clips

1. We were placing our magnets over paper clips, first only one magnet and at the distance to paper clip of 2 cm paper clips got attracted to magnet. Then we did the same experiment with 2 magnets at the same time and paper clips got attracted to our magnets at the distance of 3 cm. That means that two magnets have stronger magnetic power than just one

2. Then we rubbed one paper clip to our magnet. You have to do about 50 rubs to a magnet making sure you are doing it in one direction. And then our paper clip got magnetised. And started to attract other paper clips as it is shown on the picture.
