Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) Power of attraction; power to excite the feelings and to gain the affections.

Paramagnetism :: Paramagnetism (n.) Magnetism, as opposed to diamagnetism..

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..

Magnetical :: Magnetical (a.) Capable of becoming a magnet; susceptible to magnetism; as, the magnetic metals..

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

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

Vichy Water :: Vichy water () A mineral water found at Vichy, France. It is essentially an effervescent solution of sodium, calcium, and magnetism carbonates, with sodium and potassium chlorides; also, by extension, any artificial or natural water resembling in composition the Vichy water proper. Called also, colloquially, Vichy..

Diamagnetism :: Diamagnetism (n.) That form or condition of magnetic action which characterizes diamagnetics.

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..

Mechanico-chemical :: Mechanico-chemical (a.) Pertaining to, connected with, or dependent upon, both mechanics and chemistry; -- said especially of those sciences which treat of such phenomena as seem to depend on the laws both of mechanics and chemistry, as electricity and magnetism..

Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) The property, quality, or state, of being magnetic; the manifestation of the force in nature which is seen in a magnet..

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

Electro-magnetism :: Electro-magnetism (n.) The magnetism developed by a current of electricity; the science which treats of the development of magnetism by means of voltaic electricity, and of the properties or actions of the currents evolved..
