Paragraph on “Who discovered the first magnet?” complete paragraph for Class 9, Class 10, Class 11 and Class 12
Who discovered the first magnet?
In about 600 BC a Greek called Thales found a rock which attracted bits of iron to it. He named this rock ‘magnets’ after the town Magnets where it was found. The rock he found was an iron ore but other substances act in the same way. We call them magnets. Materials which are attracted to a magnet are said to be magnetic. Iron and cobalt are examples of magnetic materials.
