Lodestone was discovered in the Greek island of MAGNESIA! This was the beginning of Lodestone and the compass.
The first magnetic material discovered was lodestone, a naturally occurring form of magnetite. Lodestone has been used since ancient times for its magnetic properties, such as its ability to attract iron.
Yes, the Chinese discovered the lodestone.
They were first discovered in lodestone, by a farmer when the metal studs in his shoes stuck to the ground.
Lodestone, also known as loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally occurring magnets, that attract pieces of iron. Ancient people first discovered the property of magnetism in lodestone. Pieces of lodestone, suspended so they could turn, were the first magnetic compasses. Lodestone is one of only two minerals that is found naturally magnetized; the other, pyrrhotite, is only weakly magnetic.
The lodestone was discovered by ancient civilizations, possibly as far back as 600 BCE in Turkey. Its magnetic properties were observed when it attracted iron objects, leading to its early use in compasses for navigation.
A lodestone or loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally occurring magnets that attract pieces of iron. Ancient people first discovered the property of magnetism in lodestone.No one invented them. They are natural.The discovery of Lodestone:One of the first references to lodestone's magnetic properties is by 6th century BC Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus. He is credited by the ancient Greeks with discovering lodestone's attraction to iron and other lodestones.
Lodestone was discovered in Magnesia, Greece, hence its name "magnetite" which comes from the name of the region. Natural magnets known as lodestones were found in this region and were used in early compasses.
The first known magnets were naturally-occuring magnetic rocks called lodestones. Lodestone is composed of magnetite, an easily-magnetized solid mixture of Iron (II) oxide and Iron (III) oxide. Lodestone's magnetism is induced by the planetary magnetic field generated by the Earth's core. It was soon discovered that pieces of iron metal could be magnetized by stroking them with a lodestone.
i am chis and i need that answer. it was found in a town called Magnesia, Greece im not sure when
People first knew about magnetite and lodestone.
A sheperd named magnes stood on a certain black rock. When he tried to move he felt some thing tug at his feet it was a lodestone. they say magnes was the first person to find magnetsim and they named them after him.
