Magnets, Magnetic Sheets and Magnetic Accessories

Have you ever considered how often you use the power of magnets in your daily life? The answer might surprise you. Without this discovery of human ingenuity, the life we know would be almost unimaginable.

From barely noticeable spots hidden inside devices to monstrously large sizes, magnets are applicable in households, medicine, commerce, science, and thousands of other spheres.

Due to their centuries-old history, it is believed that they have been known to humanity for over 4000 years. The "father" of the magnet is considered to be a shepherd named Magnes, who was walking his flock across the mountains when his shoes "stuck" to a black rock. Since then, this natural wonder has become an integral part of numerous technological inventions.

Did You Know?

Although the magnetic properties date back to ancient times, only in the early 20th century was their power begun to be studied with scientific methods. Until then, they were attributed to paranormal and mysterious properties, as no one was clear on how exactly they worked.

In one of the first experiments with a magnet, physicist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered that a compass needle moves with something similar to electricity. Based on this discovery, the physicist concluded that energy and magnetism are interconnected.

His discovery became dramatically significant for scientists like Nikola Tesla and Thomas Jefferson, who used this knowledge to create electronic devices.

Another curious fact about magnets is that they play a key role in many of the devices without which our daily life is completely unimaginable. Due to the presence of magnets in them, it is not recommended to bring pure magnets close to them. Such action could irreparably damage, for example, the earpiece in your smartphone.

Another curious fact from the last millennium is that if you bring a magnet close to an audio cassette, it will become unusable!

Tip from EM ART

For decorating heavier items whose magnet will play the important role of holding them firmly to the metal surface, use special adhesives that guarantee durability. Such are hand-decorated stones, which are heavier and need a stronger fixation. Gluing them with hot silicone is also a good option.

Depending on the decorative item, use different sizes of magnets. The heavier the item, the larger the magnet needed to ensure its stability on the surface.
