demagnetizing force
Materials science; Magnetics
A magnetized force applied in a direction that reduces the field in a magnetized material.
dimensional tolerance
Materials science; Magnetics
An allowance, given as a permissible range, in the nominal dimensions of a finished magnet. The purpose of a tolerance is to specify the allowed leeway for imperfections in ...
dimensions
Materials science; Magnetics
The physical size of a magnet including any plating or coating.
electromagnet
Materials science; Magnetics
A magnet consisting of a solenoid with an iron core, which has a magnetic field only during the time of current flow through the solenoid.
ferromagnetic material
Materials science; Magnetics
A material that either is a source of magnetic flux or a conductor of magnetic flux. Any ferromagnetic material must have some component of iron, nickel, or cobalt.
gauss
Materials science; Magnetics
The unit of magnetic induction or magnetic flux density used to measure magnetic field strength. (lines of magnetic flux per square centimeter).
