More Magnets!!!

But before I talk about it, great job, musical people! Despite some audio problems, that was amazing! I really liked the balance of comedy and drama, and Dr. Webb's cameo appearance (falsetto voice and all). Anyway...

Using the magnets from last week, I put them in a line and stuck them onto the metallic part of the cabinet in my bathroom, then I took one of the stray magnets and tried to put it on. To my dismay, the entire line of magnets moved towards the wall rather than the magnet in my fingers attracting to them. The poles were opposite, and since the force of my hand was greater than the magnetic force of the magnets on the cabinet, they gave way.

I also tried to attach metallic things together (ignore the shower curtain the the background. Don't ask). Even though the magnet wasn't touching the second bobby pin, the magnet made the first pin gain an electric field of its own, albeit much weaker than the magnet's one. That's why when I tried to attach a third pin to the second, the field was too weak to support the weight of the third. It could also be because the magnetic conductivity of the pins were low.

This week is gonna be fun. In both the sarcastic and positive sense of the word. It's extended schedule, guys. And I think we juniors have meetings both days. Greaaaaaat.

Yay for registration/CPR/class meetings/tests all week/holy crap there's only three weeks left in the quarter!
