Factual Friday: What are Magnets?
Okay, Donald Trump says a lot of stupid things, but the other day he said, “Nobody knows what magnets are.”
Oh, you don’t believe me? (of course you do, it’s Trump). But here it is:
Now, he has also said that Congresswomen Jasmin Crocket and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are stupid people with low IQs, so we might have to take that one with a grain of salt.
A quick Google search provides us with thei explanation:
“Magnets generate a magnetic field because of the collective spin of electrons within their atoms. In magnetic materials, these electrons are arranged so their magnetic moments align in the same direction, creating a strong, combined magnetic field that extends from a north pole to a south pole. In non-magnetic materials, the electron spins are random and cancel each other out, resulting in no overall magnetic field.“
Now, I understand that, but it might go over the head of someone who believes no one knows what magnets are.
