  2. Human magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_magnetism

    People alleged to have such an ability are often called human magnets. Although metal objects are the most prevalent material of attraction, some "human magnets" are also able to stick other types of materials to their skin, such as glass , porcelain , wood or plastic as well as metals with no ferromagnetic properties, such as brass and ...

  3. Ferromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism

    Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are noticeably attracted to a magnet, which is a consequence of their substantial ...

  4. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field. An everyday example is a refrigerator magnet used to hold notes on a refrigerator door. Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic).

  5. 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.

  6. Neodymium magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet

    This magnetic energy value is about 18 times greater than "ordinary" ferrite magnets by volume and 12 times by mass. This magnetic energy property is higher in NdFeB alloys than in samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets, which were the first type of rare-earth magnet to be commercialized. In practice, the magnetic properties of neodymium magnets depend ...

  7. Rare-earth magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet

    Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.

  8. Plastic magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_magnet

    A plastic magnet is a non-metallic magnet made from an organic polymer. Plastic magnets could be used in computer hardware such as disc drives , as well as in medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants , where the organic material is more likely to be biocompatible than its metallic counterparts.

  9. Magnetite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

    [7] [8] With the exception of extremely rare native iron deposits, it is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth. [7] [9] Naturally magnetized pieces of magnetite, called lodestone, will attract small pieces of iron, which is how ancient peoples first discovered the property of magnetism. [10]
