Magnetics

magnetic orientation

Materials science; Magnetics

Determines the magnetic polarity and position of one magnet pole to the other.

magnetic pole

Materials science; Magnetics

An area where the lines of flux are concentrated.

magnetic saturation

Materials science; Magnetics

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

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 and most familiar ...

magnetizing force (H)

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 flowing through a ...
