  2. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The magnetic field of larger magnets can be obtained by modeling them as a collection of a large number of small magnets called dipoles each having their own m. The magnetic field produced by the magnet then is the net magnetic field of these dipoles; any net force on the magnet is a result of adding up the forces on the individual dipoles.

  3. 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.

  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.

    This field representation is in this theory argued to integrate parts into a whole that has meaning, so a face is not seen as a random collection of features, but as somebody's face. The integration of information in the field is also suggested to resolve the binding/combination problem. In 2013, McFadden published two updates to the theory.

  6. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    Paramagnetic materials have a weak induced magnetization in a magnetic field, which disappears when the magnetic field is removed. Ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials have strong magnetization in a magnetic field, and can be magnetized to have magnetization in the absence of an external field, becoming a permanent magnet .

  7. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    The validity of Ampère's model means that it is allowable to think of the magnetic material as if it consists of current-loops, and the total effect is the sum of the effect of each current-loop, and so the magnetic effect of a real magnet can be computed as the sum of magnetic effects of tiny pieces of magnetic material that are at a distance ...

  8. Magnetic domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_domain

    He assumed that a given magnetic moment in a material experienced a very high effective magnetic field H e due to the magnetization of its neighbors. In the original Weiss theory the mean field was proportional to the bulk magnetization M, so that = where is the mean field constant. However this is not applicable to ferromagnets due to the ...

  9. Magnetostriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostriction

    The variation of materials' magnetization due to the applied magnetic field changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, λ. The effect was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of iron. [1] Magnetostriction applies to magnetic fields, while electrostriction applies to electric fields.
