Materials science; Magnetics

The maximum amount of magnetic energy that can be absorbed by a magnetic substance.

magnetism

Materials science; Magnetics

Magnetism is a property of materials that respond to an applied magnetic field. Permanent magnets have persistent magnetic fields caused by ferromagnetism, which is the strongest ...

Materials science; Magnetics

The magnetomotive force per unit of magnet length, measured in Oersteds (C.G.S.) or ampere-turns per meter (S.I).

magnetomotive force (F)

Materials science; Magnetics

The magnetic potential difference between any two points. Analogous to voltage in electrical circuits. That which tends to produce a magnetic field. Commonly produced by a current ...
