A pinched aluminium can, produced from a pulsed magnetic field created by rapidly discharging 2 kilojoules from a high-voltage capacitor bank into a 3-turn coil of heavy gauge wire. Electromagnetic forming ( EM forming or magneforming ) is a type of high-velocity, cold forming process for electrically conductive metals, most commonly copper and ...
A plastic magnet is a non-metallic magnet made from an organic polymer. Plastic magnets could be used in computer hardware such as disc drives , as well as in medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants , where the organic material is more likely to be biocompatible than its metallic counterparts.
The magnetic moment and the magnetic field of the electromagnet are proportional to the number of loops of wire, to the cross-section of each loop, and to the current passing through the wire. [ 47 ] If the coil of wire is wrapped around a material with no special magnetic properties (e.g., cardboard), it will tend to generate a very weak field.
Plate from a 16 T Bitter magnet, 40 cm diameter, made of copper. In operation it carries a current of 20 kiloamperes. Bitter magnets are constructed of circular conducting metal plates (known as Bitter plates) and insulating spacers stacked in a helical configuration, rather than coils of wire. The current flows in a helical path through the ...
Paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, and spin waves. Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet.
The greater forces exerted by rare-earth magnets create hazards that may not occur with other types of magnet. Neodymium magnets larger than a few cubic centimeters are strong enough to cause injuries to body parts pinched between two magnets, or a magnet and a ferrous metal surface, even causing broken bones.

Paramagnetic materials have a weak induced magnetization in a magnetic field, which disappears when the magnetic field is removed. Ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials have strong magnetization in a magnetic field, and can be magnetized to have magnetization in the absence of an external field, becoming a permanent magnet. Magnetization is ...
Due to ceramic ferrite magnet’s weaker magnetic fields compared to superconducting magnets, they are sometimes used in low-field or open MRI systems. [41] [42] These magnets are favored in certain cases due to their lower cost, stable magnetic field, and ability to function without the need for complex cooling systems. [43]
