who discovered magnets??

As to who discovered magnets first, it looks like the ancient greeks r the strongest contenders. It is said the Greeks first observed lodestone attracted iron bits. Another version of the story goes that the Greeks discovered magnetites in Turkey.

 

Thales is widely accepted as the first human to study magnets. He lived in Greece around 600 BC. He studied how two magnetic objects attack each other, including a resin called amber. On the other hand, ancient Chinese had been known to use magnetic stones around that time, too. Historians say the ancient Chinese used magnetic stones for making a compass.

Another story is told about an ancient t place in Macedonia called Magnesia, where magnets appeared to have begun.  But the Vikings, who sailed across many oceans, invented the first magnetic compass.

In 1734 a Swedish scientist named Swedenborg brought to polar attention the differences between a magnetic object and a non-magnetic one. The first magnetic substance ever known was magnetite. But Swedenborg was challenged by a Frenchman named Louis Neel. He thought otherwise and came up with a theory on ferromagnestism.

 Around 2,000 B.C., a shepherd named Magnes lived in an area named Magnesia (situated in Northern Greece). He used to take his herd of sheep to graze in the nearby mountains. He used to control his herd with a long stick that had an iron tip. Also, a few iron nails were fixed to his shoes.

It is said that one day while he was herding his sheep, he observed that his shoes and the tip of the stick were stuck to a large black-coloured rock. It was very difficult for him to move on that black rock. Later, this rock and similar rocks were named magnetite (after either his name or that of the place). Magnetite has the property to attract objects made up of iron.

Roughly 4,000 years ago, a Greek shepherd named Magnes is said to have been tending his sheep in a region of northern Greece called Magnesia. He took a step and suddenly found that the nails that held his shoe together and the metal tip of his staff were stuck fast to the rock he was standing on! Intrigued, he began digging and discovered the first recorded lodestone. Lodestones were henceforth known as “magnetite,” probably named after Magnes or Magnesia.

The first magnets were not invented, but rather were found from a naturally occurring mineral called magnetite. Traditionally, the ancient Greeks were the discoverers of magnetite. There is a story about a shepherd named Magnes whose shoe nails stuck to a rock containing magnetite.

    The ancient Greeks were the first known to have used this mineral, which they called a magnet because of its ability to attract other pieces of the same material and iron. The Englishman William Gilbert (1540-1603) was the first to investigate the phenomenon of magnetism systematically using scientific methods.

    When baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) is mixed with lemon juice(citric acid), bubbles are formed.

    These bubbles are formed due to the evolution of carbon dioxide gas.

    This is a chemical change.

    In the change, the citric acid contained in lemon juice reacts with the baking soda or sodium bicarbonate) which results in the evolution of carbon dioxide gas.

    Lemon Juice + Baking soda ? Carbon dioxide + Other substances

He would take a stick with him to control his herd. The stick had one small piece of iron attached ti his stick. One day he was surprised to find that he had to pull hard to free his stick from a rock on the mountainside. It seemed as if the stick was been attracted. The rock was a natural magnet and it attracted the Iron tip of the shepherd's stick. It is said that this is how magnets were discovered.
