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..

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

Magnetics :: Magnetics (n.) The science of magnetism.

Pyromagnetic :: Pyromagnetic (a.) Acting by the agency of heat and magnetism; as, a pyromagnetic machine for producing electric currents..

Magneto- :: Magneto- () A prefix meaning pertaining to, produced by, or in some way connected with, magnetism..

Biomagnetic :: Biomagnetic (a.) Relating to biomagnetism.

Electro-biology :: Electro-biology (n.) That phase of mesmerism or animal magnetism, the phenomena of which are supposed to be produced by a form of electricity..

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

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..

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

Magnetize :: Magnetize (v. t.) To bring under the influence of animal magnetism.

Mesmerism :: Mesmerism (n.) The art of inducing an extraordinary or abnormal state of the nervous system, in which the actor claims to control the actions, and communicate directly with the mind, of the recipient. See Animal magnetism, under Magnetism..

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..

Thermomagnetism :: Thermomagnetism (n.) Magnetism as affected or caused by the action of heat; the relation of heat to magnetism.

Biomagnetism :: Biomagnetism (n.) Animal magnetism.
