Why is iron attracted to magnets?
Please help me running out of time!:confused:

NOT SURE, BUT I THINK THE ANSWER IS:

Electrons have negative charge

The magnet makes the electrons in iron to move so that one end of the iron has more elctrons than the other end, Result: one end of iron has positive charge, other end (with more elctrons) has negative charge.

The magnet also has one end having positive charge and the other with negative charge.

The end of magnet with negative charge attracts the end of iron with positive charge. This is fundamental principle of electric charge.
