  2. Magnetic skyrmion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_skyrmion

    where p describes the magnetisation direction in the origin (p=1 (−1) for (=) = ()) and W is the winding number. Considering the same uniform magnetisation, i.e. the same p value, the winding number allows to define the skyrmion (()) with a positive winding number and the antiskyrmion (()) with a negative winding number and thus a topological charge opposite to the one of the skyrmion.

  3. Voltage spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_spike

    Voltage spikes, also known as surges, may be created by a rapid buildup or decay of a magnetic field, which may induce energy into the associated circuit. However voltage spikes can also have more mundane causes such as a fault in a transformer or higher-voltage (primary circuit) power wires falling onto lower-voltage (secondary circuit) power ...

  4. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    Where is the elementary magnetic moment and is the volume element; in other words, the M-field is the distribution of magnetic moments in the region or manifold concerned. This is better illustrated through the following relation: m = ∭ M d V {\displaystyle \mathbf {m} =\iiint \mathbf {M} \,\mathrm {d} V} where m is an ordinary magnetic ...

  5. Superconducting magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet

    Any change to the current through the magnet must be done very slowly, first because electrically the magnet is a large inductor and an abrupt current change will result in a large voltage spike across the windings, and more importantly because fast changes in current can cause eddy currents and mechanical stresses in the windings that can ...

  6. Lodestone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodestone

    The Earth's magnetic field at 0.5 gauss is too weak to magnetize a lodestone by itself. [9] [10] The leading theory is that lodestones are magnetized by the strong magnetic fields surrounding lightning bolts. [9] [10] [11] This is supported by the observation that they are mostly found near the surface of the Earth, rather than buried at great ...

  7. Magnetite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

    It is one of the oxides of iron, and is ferrimagnetic; [6] it is attracted to a magnet and can be magnetized to become a permanent magnet itself. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] With the exception of extremely rare native iron deposits, it is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth.

  8. Rock magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_magnetism

    Rock magnetic methods are used to get a more detailed picture of the source of the distinctive striped pattern in marine magnetic anomalies that provides important information on plate tectonics. They are also used to interpret terrestrial magnetic anomalies in magnetic surveys as well as the strong crustal magnetism on Mars.

  9. Zimmerit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmerit

    The magnetostatic field decreases very rapidly, with the cube of distance; the non-magnetic coating holds the magnet of the mine too far from the steel of the vehicle for it to adhere. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The coating was normally ridged to increase the distance between the magnet and the armor even further, as the high points on the pattern increase ...
