Produção e análise do comportamento de um "ferrofluido" sob a influência de um campo magnético e sua aplicação no ensino de física

Abstract

The study presents the development of a magnetic fluid produced internally using a mixture of slime and iron particles. The process was carried out with simple materials, allowing for replication in educational settings. The fluid was subjected to the influence of a magnetic field generated by a magnet, and its behavior was analyzed in different orientations (horizontal and vertical) relative to the field. During the tests, characteristics such as the attraction of the fluid to the magnet and the alignment of magnetic particles within the mixture were observed, demonstrating magnetic properties. The aim of this study is to assist basic education teachers in teaching Physics by providing a practical approach to exploring magnetism concepts. The experiment brings students closer to theoretical content through an interactive experience, sparking interest and facilitating the understanding of magnetic phenomena in a visual way.
