Lern More About Magnet

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..
Thermomagnetism :: Thermomagnetism (n.) Magnetism as affected or caused by the action of heat; the relation of heat to magnetism.
Diamagnetically :: Diamagnetically (adv.) In the manner of, or according to, diamagnetism..
Diamagnet :: Diamagnet (n.) A body having diamagnetic 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..
Titaniferous :: Titaniferous (a.) Containing or affording titanium; as, titaniferous magnetite..
Biomagnetic :: Biomagnetic (a.) Relating to biomagnetism.
Magneto-electrical :: Magneto-electrical (a.) Pertaining to, or characterized by, electricity by the action of magnets; as, magneto-electric induction..
Pyromagnetic :: Pyromagnetic (a.) Acting by the agency of heat and magnetism; as, a pyromagnetic machine for producing electric currents..
Declinometer :: Declinometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the declination of the magnetic needle.
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..
Oligist :: Oligist (a.) Hematite or specular iron ore; -- prob. so called in allusion to its feeble magnetism, as compared with magnetite..
