Magnet .. Who discovered it and how?

ArabiaWeather.com - The traditional story says that 4000 years ago, there was a Greek shepherd named Magnes who was grazing his sheep in a region in northern Greece called Magnesia. Suddenly, while walking, he stuck his shoes between the rocks and noticed that the nails at the bottom of the shoes stick firmly to the ground and that there is a gravitational force. Between the iron nails and that rock, and since that time humanity has known lodestone , which has magnetic properties since its formation in nature, such as: magnetite (Fe3O4).

After the discovery of magnets, myths spread among people and talk about magical energy increased. This stone was later developed, and even the industrial magnet was invented, thanks to the English scientist Michael Faraday.

This magnet has been exploited in many fields such as the magnetic resonance device in medicine, the field of transportation in magnetic trains, and other devices and uses.
