  2. Coercivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercivity

    Coercivity in a ferromagnetic material is the intensity of the applied magnetic field (H field) required to demagnetize that material, after the magnetization of the sample has been driven to saturation by a strong field. This demagnetizing field is applied opposite to the original saturating field.

  3. Demagnetizing field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagnetizing_field

    The demagnetizing field, also called the stray field (outside the magnet), is the magnetic field (H-field) [1] generated by the magnetization in a magnet.The total magnetic field in a region containing magnets is the sum of the demagnetizing fields of the magnets and the magnetic field due to any free currents or displacement currents.

    USS Jimmy Carter in the magnetic silencing facility at Naval Base Kitsap for her first deperming treatment RMS Queen Mary arriving in New York Harbor, 20 June 1945, with thousands of U.S. soldiers – note the prominent degaussing coil running around the hull Control panel of the MES-device ("Magnetischer Eigenschutz" German: magnetic self-protection) in a German submarine Close-wrap deperming ...

  5. Rare-earth magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet

    Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.

  6. Samarium–cobalt magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samarium–cobalt_magnet

    A samarium–cobalt (SmCo) magnet, a type of rare-earth magnet, is a strong permanent magnet made of two basic elements: samarium and cobalt.. They were developed in the early 1960s based on work done by Karl Strnat at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Alden Ray at the University of Dayton.

  7. Do magnets affect credit cards? - AOL

    Avoid carrying your cards loose inside your pocket, especially if you carry items like keys and coins in the same pocket. These items can scratch the magnetic strip on the card and damage it.

  8. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    Accordingly, physicists and engineers usually define magnetization as the quantity of magnetic moment per unit volume. [1] It is represented by a pseudovector M . Magnetization can be compared to electric polarization , which is the measure of the corresponding response of a material to an electric field in electrostatics .

  9. Ferrite (magnet) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrite_(magnet)

    A stack of ferrite magnets, with magnetic household items stuck to it. A ferrite is one of a family of iron oxide-containing magnetic ceramic materials. They are ferrimagnetic, meaning they are attracted by magnetic fields and can be magnetized to become permanent magnets.
