Biomagnetism :: Biomagnetism (n.) Animal magnetism.

Compass :: Compass (n.) An instrument for determining directions upon the earth's surface by means of a magnetized bar or needle turning freely upon a pivot and pointing in a northerly and southerly direction.

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

Diamagnetically :: Diamagnetically (adv.) In the manner of, or according to, diamagnetism..

Related :: Related (p. p. & a.) Standing in relation or connection; as, the electric and magnetic forcec are closely related..

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..

Paramagnetic :: Paramagnetic (n.) A paramagnetic substance.

Magnetizee :: Magnetizee (n.) A person subjected to the influence of animal magnetism.

Magnetize :: Magnetize (v. t.) To attract as a magnet attracts, or like a magnet; to move; to influence..

Magnetical :: Magnetical (a.) Having, susceptible to, or induced by, animal magnetism, so called; as, a magnetic sleep. See Magnetism..

Magnetotherapy :: Magnetotherapy (n.) The treatment of disease by the application of magnets to the surface of the body.

Demagnetize :: Demagnetize (v. t.) To deprive of magnetic properties. See Magnetize.

Magnetograph :: Magnetograph (n.) An automatic instrument for registering, by photography or otherwise, the states and variations of any of the terrestrial magnetic elements..

Electro-magnetic :: Electro-magnetic (a.) Of, Pertaining to, or produced by, magnetism which is developed by the passage of an electric current..

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..

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..

Retentivity :: Retentivity (n.) The power of retaining; retentive force; as, the retentivity of a magnet..

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..

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..
