Why Liquid Oxygen Gets Pulled by Magnets #sciencefacts #science

[00:00:00]That glowing blue liquid isn't water.

[00:00:03]It's liquid oxygen.

[00:00:06]And unlike most liquids you know, oxygen is actually magnetic.

[00:00:12]When oxygen is cooled to extremely low temperatures, it becomes a pale blue liquid with a property called paramagnetism.

[00:00:21]That means its molecules are attracted to strong magnetic fields because they contain unpaired electrons.

[00:00:29]So, when the liquid oxygen passes between these powerful magnets, the magnetic field literally pulls and traps the liquid in place.

[00:00:38]F equals [music] Q times V times B.

[00:00:42]The stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the attraction becomes.

[00:00:47]This experiment reveals something incredible. Magnetism doesn't just affect metal. It can influence certain liquids and even gases at the molecular level.

[00:00:58]So, that strange sound you hear, it's liquid oxygen interacting with an invisible magnetic force in real time.
