The question Fausto from supermagnete will answer in this "Ask Fausto" episode is "How can I visualize a magnetic field / magnetic field lines?". To get more detailed information about magnetic fields and field lines you can read our FAQ about magnetic fields at: https://www.supermagnete.de/faq/flux2

In the video Fausto shows you different ways to make magnetic fields or magnetic field lines visible! Many of them can easily be done at home or in school.
