  2. Pole piece - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_piece

    A pole piece is a structure composed of material of high magnetic permeability that serves to direct the magnetic field produced by a magnet. A pole piece attaches to and in a sense extends a pole of the magnet, hence the name. Pole pieces are used with both permanent magnets and electromagnets. In the case of an electromagnet, the pole piece ...

  3. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    r {\displaystyle r} is the distance between the magnetic dipole axes of the two magnets. With their magnetic dipole aligned, the force can be computed analytically using elliptic integrals. [ 7 ] This can be rewritten as, Where is the magnetization of the magnets and is the distance between them.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The shape of the magnetic fields of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet are revealed by the orientation of iron filings sprinkled on pieces of paper. A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field[1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials.

  6. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism. The most familiar effects occur in ferromagnetic ...

  7. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    Electromagnet. For broader coverage of this topic, see Electromagnetism. A simple electromagnet consisting of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. A core of ferromagnetic material like iron serves to increase the magnetic field created. [ 1 ] The strength of the magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through ...

  8. Magnetic monopole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole

    Instead, each piece has its own north and south poles. A magnetic monopole cannot be created from normal matter such as atoms and electrons, but would instead be a new elementary particle. In particle physics, a magnetic monopole is a hypothetical elementary particle that is an isolated magnet with only one magnetic pole (a north pole without a ...

  9. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, generators, inductors, loudspeakers, magnetic recording heads, and magnetic assemblies.
