  2. 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.

  3. Moses effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Effect

    The rapid progress in the development of neodymium magnets, supplying magnetic fields as high as c. 1 T, allows simple and inexpensive experiments related to the Moses effect and its visualization. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The application of magnetic fields on the order of magnitude of 0.5-1 T results in the formation of the near-surface "well" with a ...

  4. Curie's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie's_law

    It only holds for high temperatures and weak magnetic fields. As the derivations below show, the magnetization saturates in the opposite limit of low temperatures and strong fields. If the Curie constant is null, other magnetic effects dominate, like Langevin diamagnetism or Van Vleck paramagnetism.

  5. Oersted's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

    The magnetic field (marked B, indicated by red field lines) around wire carrying an electric current (marked I) Compass and wire apparatus showing Ørsted's experiment (video [1]) In electromagnetism , Ørsted's law , also spelled Oersted's law , is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field .

  6. De Haas–Van Alphen effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Haas–van_Alphen_effect

    The De Haas–Van Alphen effect, often abbreviated to DHVA, is a quantum mechanical effect in which the magnetic susceptibility of a pure metal crystal oscillates as the intensity of the magnetic field B is increased. It can be used to determine the Fermi surface of a material.

  7. Magnetic Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Reynolds_number

    In magnetohydrodynamics, the magnetic Reynolds number (R m) is a dimensionless quantity that estimates the relative effects of advection or induction of a magnetic field by the motion of a conducting medium to the magnetic diffusion. It is the magnetic analogue of the Reynolds number in fluid mechanics and is typically defined by:

  8. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    The magnetization field or M-field can be defined according to the following equation: =. 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.

  9. Magnetostriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostriction

    Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization.The variation of materials' magnetization due to the applied magnetic field changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, λ.
