  2. Iron filings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_filings

    As the name suggests, iron filings can be obtained from metal working operations as the scrap material filed off larger iron and steel parts. [2] They are very often used in science demonstrations to show the direction of a magnetic field. Since iron is a ferromagnetic material, a magnetic field induces each particle to become a tiny bar magnet ...

  3. History of classical field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_classical_field...

    Iron filings used to show the magnetic field lines of a bar magnet. In the history of physics, the concept of fields had its origins in the 18th century in a mathematical formulation of Newton's law of universal gravitation, but it was seen as deficient as it implied action at a distance.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Swarf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarf

    Various examples of swarf, including a block of compressed swarf. Swarf, also known as chips or by other process-specific names (such as turnings, filings, or shavings), are pieces of metal, wood, or plastic that are the debris or waste resulting from machining, woodworking, or similar subtractive (material-removing) manufacturing processes.

  6. Ferrofluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluid

    When an external magnetic field is projected onto the surface of the thin film, it produces a 2D flux magnetic field imprint pattern, similar to the Faraday's classical iron filings experiment. This pattern includes depth of field information of the external field being displayed by the ferrolens device, despite the thin film having a finite ...

  7. Horseshoe magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_magnet

    The shape of the magnet was originally created as a replacement for the bar magnet as it makes the magnetic field stronger for a magnet of comparable strength. [5] A horseshoe magnet is stronger because both poles of the magnet are closer to each other and in the same plane which allows the magnetic lines of flux to flow along a more direct path between the poles and concentrates the magnetic ...
