Magnetism experiment. 19th-century artwork of an experiment being carried out with two permanent bar magnets (one at left, one in hand) and an iron bar (suspended on a piece of strong), showing how similar magnetic poles repel each other. If the bar magnet in the demonstrator's hand is removed, the freely suspended iron bar (temporarily magnetised) will swing back to align with the second permanent bar magnet (left) that had temporarily magnetised it, since opposite poles attract. Artwork from the 4th volume (second period of 1889) of the French popular science weekly 'La Science Illustree'.
