- Place your bar magnet in the centre of the next page and draw around it.
- Place a compass at one pole of the bar magnet.
- Draw a ‘dot’ to show there the compass is pointing,
- Move the compass so the opposite end of the needle is pointing to the dot,
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until to reach the other pole of the magnet.
- Do this procedure at least 5 times from different points on the pole of the magnet.
*Tip, try to be as accurate as possible when drawing your dots* - Join up your dots to create the field line plots
