  2. Lodestone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodestone

    Ordinary magnetite is attracted to a magnetic field as iron and steel are, but does not tend to become magnetized itself; it has too low a magnetic coercivity. (resistance to magnetization or demagnetization) [ 9 ] Microscopic examination of lodestones has found them to be made of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) with inclusions of maghemite (cubic Fe 2 O ...

  3. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet's magnetic moment (also called magnetic dipole moment and usually denoted μ) is a vector that characterizes the magnet's overall magnetic properties. For a bar magnet, the direction of the magnetic moment points from the magnet's south pole to its north pole, [ 15 ] and the magnitude relates to how strong and how far apart these poles ...

  4. Nanomagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomagnet

    Canonical examples of nanomagnets are grains [1] [2] of ferromagnetic metals (iron, cobalt, and nickel) and single-molecule magnets. [3] The vast majority of nanomagnets feature transition metal ( titanium , vanadium , chromium , manganese , iron, cobalt or nickel) or rare earth ( Gadolinium , Europium , Erbium ) magnetic atoms.

  5. Neodymium magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet

    Neodymium magnets have replaced alnico and ferrite magnets in many of the myriad applications in modern technology where strong permanent magnets are required, because their greater strength allows the use of smaller, lighter magnets for a given application. Some examples are: Head actuators for computer hard disks

  6. Orders of magnitude (magnetic moment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    The magnetic moment of an object is an intrinsic property and does not change with distance, and thus can be used to measure "how strong" a magnet is. For example, Earth possesses an enormous magnetic moment, however we are very distant from its center and experience only a tiny magnetic flux density (measured in tesla ) on its surface.

  7. 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.
