Lern More About Magnet

Biomagnetic :: Biomagnetic (a.) Relating to biomagnetism.
Armature :: Armature (n.) A piece of soft iron used to connect the two poles of a magnet, or electro-magnet, in order to complete the circuit, or to receive and apply the magnetic force. In the ordinary horseshoe magnet, it serves to prevent the dissipation of the magnetic force..
Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) The science which treats of magnetic phenomena.
Imponderable :: Imponderable (n.) An imponderable substance or body; specifically, in the plural, a name formerly applied to heat, light, electricity, and magnetism, regarded as subtile fluids destitute of weight but in modern science little used..
Martite :: Martite (n.) Iron sesquioxide in isometric form, probably a pseudomorph after magnetite..
Photomagnetism :: Photomagnetism (n.) The branch of science which treats of the relation of magnetism to light.
Iron :: Iron (n.) The most common and most useful metallic element, being of almost universal occurrence, usually in the form of an oxide (as hematite, magnetite, etc.), or a hydrous oxide (as limonite, turgite, etc.). It is reduced on an enormous scale in three principal forms; viz., cast iron, steel, and wrought iron. Iron usually appears dark brown, from oxidation or impurity, but when pure, or on a fresh surface, is a gray or white metal. It is easily oxidized (rusted) by moisture, and is attacked b
