Bipolarity :: Bipolarity (n.) Bipolar quality.

Pyroelectric :: Pyroelectric (a.) Pertaining to, or dependent on, pyroelectricity; receiving electric polarity when heated..

Electricity :: Electricity (n.) A power in nature, a manifestation of energy, exhibiting itself when in disturbed equilibrium or in activity by a circuit movement, the fact of direction in which involves polarity, or opposition of properties in opposite directions; also, by attraction for many substances, by a law involving attraction between surfaces of unlike polarity, and repulsion between those of like; by exhibiting accumulated polar tension when the circuit is broken; and by producing heat, light, concus

Lodestone :: Lodestone (n.) A piece of magnetic iron ore possessing polarity like a magnetic needle. See Magnetite.

Diamagnet :: Diamagnet (n.) A body having diamagnetic polarity.

Mad :: Mad (superl.) Having impaired polarity; -- applied to a compass needle.

Pole :: Pole (n.) See Polarity, and Polar, n..

Induction :: Induction (n.) The property by which one body, having electrical or magnetic polarity, causes or induces it in another body without direct contact; an impress of electrical or magnetic force or condition from one body on another without actual contact..

Polarize :: Polarize (v. t.) To communicate polarity to.

Polarization :: Polarization (n.) The act of polarizing; the state of being polarized, or of having polarity..

Magnetite :: Magnetite (n.) An oxide of iron (Fe3O4) occurring in isometric crystals, also massive, of a black color and metallic luster. It is readily attracted by a magnet and sometimes possesses polarity, being then called loadstone. It is an important iron ore. Called also magnetic iron..

Inherent :: Inherent (a.) Permanently existing in something; inseparably attached or connected; naturally pertaining to; innate; inalienable; as, polarity is an inherent quality of the magnet; the inherent right of men to life, liberty, and protection..

Solenoid :: Solenoid (n.) An electrodynamic spiral having the conjuctive wire turned back along its axis, so as to neutralize that component of the effect of the current which is due to the length of the spiral, and reduce the whole effect to that of a series of equal and parallel circular currents. When traversed by a current the solenoid exhibits polarity and attraction or repulsion, like a magnet..

Polarily :: Polarily (adv.) In a polary manner; with polarity.

Hysteresis :: Hysteresis (n.) A lagging or retardation of the effect, when the forces acting upon a body are changed, as if from velocity or internal friction; a temporary resistance to change from a condition previously induced, observed in magnetism, thermoelectricity, etc., on reversal of polarity..

Pole :: Pole (n.) One of the opposite or contrasted parts or directions in which a polar force is manifested; a point of maximum intensity of a force which has two such points, or which has polarity; as, the poles of a magnet; the north pole of a needle..

Astatic :: Astatic (a.) Having little or no tendency to take a fixed or definite position or direction: thus, a suspended magnetic needle, when rendered astatic, loses its polarity, or tendency to point in a given direction..

Isotropy :: Isotropy (n.) Uniformity of physical properties in all directions in a body; absence of all kinds of polarity; specifically, equal elasticity in all directions..

Depolarize :: Depolarize (v. t.) To deprive of polarity; to reduce to an unpolarized condition.

Polarity :: Polarity (n.) A property of the conic sections by virtue of which a given point determines a corresponding right line and a given right line determines a corresponding point. See Polar, n..
