Magnetist :: Magnetist (n.) One versed in magnetism.

Magnetical :: Magnetical (a.) Of or pertaining to, or characterized by, the earth's magnetism; as, the magnetic north; the magnetic meridian..

Photomagnetic :: Photomagnetic (a.) Of or pertaining to photomagnetism.

Sleepwaker :: Sleepwaker (n.) On in a state of magnetic or mesmeric sleep.

Magneticalness :: Magneticalness (n.) Quality of being magnetic.

Polar :: Polar (a.) Of or pertaining to the magnetic pole, or to the point to which the magnetic needle is directed..

Medium :: Medium (n.) A substance through which an effect is transmitted from one thing to another; as, air is the common medium of sound. Hence: The condition upon which any event or action occurs; necessary means of motion or action; that through or by which anything is accomplished, conveyed, or carried on; specifically, in animal magnetism, spiritualism, etc., a person through whom the action of another being is said to be manifested and transmitted..

Physics :: Physics (n.) The science of nature, or of natural objects; that branch of science which treats of the laws and properties of matter, and the forces acting upon it; especially, that department of natural science which treats of the causes (as gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc.) that modify the general properties of bodies; natural philosophy..

Steel :: Steel (n.) A variety of iron intermediate in composition and properties between wrought iron and cast iron (containing between one half of one per cent and one and a half per cent of carbon), and consisting of an alloy of iron with an iron carbide. Steel, unlike wrought iron, can be tempered, and retains magnetism. Its malleability decreases, and fusibility increases, with an increase in carbon..

Tellurism :: Tellurism (n.) An hypothesis of animal magnetism propounded by Dr. Keiser, in Germany, in which the phenomena are ascribed to the agency of a telluric spirit or influence..

Paramagnetic :: Paramagnetic (a.) Magnetic, as opposed to diamagnetic..

Australize :: Australize (v. i.) To tend toward the south pole, as a magnet..

Magnet :: Magnet (n.) The loadstone; a species of iron ore (the ferrosoferric or magnetic ore, Fe3O4) which has the property of attracting iron and some of its ores, and, when freely suspended, of pointing to the poles; -- called also natural magnet..

Electromotor :: Electromotor (n.) An apparatus or machine for producing motion and mechanical effects by the action of electricity; an electro-magnetic engine.

Differential :: Differential (n.) One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other..

Electro-magnet :: Electro-magnet (n.) A mass, usually of soft iron, but sometimes of some other magnetic metal, as nickel or cobalt, rendered temporarily magnetic by being placed within a coil of wire through which a current of electricity is passing. The metal is generally in the form of a bar, either straight, or bent into the shape of a horseshoe..

Terrel :: Terrel (n.) A spherical magnet so placed that its poles, equator, etc., correspond to those of the earth..

Magnetiferous :: Magnetiferous (a.) Producing or conducting magnetism.

Photomagnetism :: Photomagnetism (n.) The branch of science which treats of the relation of magnetism to light.

Scale :: Scale (n.) The thin oxide which forms on the surface of iron forgings. It consists essentially of the magnetic oxide, Fe3O4. Also, a similar coating upon other metals..
