  2. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    The simplest example of this is the attraction of opposite poles of two magnets. Every magnet produces a magnetic field that is stronger near its poles. If opposite poles of two separate magnets are facing each other, each of the magnets is drawn into the stronger magnetic field near the pole of the other.

  3. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    The magnetic field between poles (see the figure for Magnetic pole model) is in the opposite direction to the magnetic moment (which points from the negative charge to the positive charge), while inside a current loop it is in the same direction (see the figure to the right). The limits of these fields must also be different as the sources ...

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    Too, a north pole feels a force in the direction of the H-field while the force on the south pole is opposite to the H-field. In the magnetic pole model, the elementary magnetic dipole m is formed by two opposite magnetic poles of pole strength q m separated by a small distance vector d, such that m = q m d.

  5. North magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_magnetic_pole

    The magnetic-north of the earth as a magnet is actually on the southern hemisphere: The north side of magnets are by definition attracted to the geographic north, and opposite poles attract. The north magnetic pole, also known as the magnetic north pole, is a point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic ...

  6. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    A very common source of magnetic field found in nature is a dipole, with a "South pole" and a "North pole", terms dating back to the use of magnets as compasses, interacting with the Earth's magnetic field to indicate North and South on the globe. Since opposite ends of magnets are attracted, the north pole of a magnet is attracted to the south ...

  7. Demagnetizing field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagnetizing_field

    t. e. 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.

  8. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    A magnet's North pole is defined as the pole that is attracted by the Earth's North Magnetic Pole when the magnet is suspended so it can turn freely. Since opposite poles attract, the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is really the south pole of its magnetic field (the place where the field is directed downward into the Earth). [20] [21] [22] [23]

  9. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets. A permanent magnet is an object made from a material ...
