Magnets were discovered by chance by an old shepherd named Magnes who lived in ancient Greece. Magnes used to take his herd of sheep and goats to a nearby mountain for grazing. He always took a wooden stick to manage his herd of sheep and goats which had an iron casing at its lower end. One day suddenly he felt that something was pulling his stick away from him. It appeared as if the stick was attracted by a rock and got stuck to it. He pulled hard to free the iron end of stick from the rock. This rock behaved like a magnet and was given the name ‘magnetite’.
