a body possessing that peculiar form of polarity found in nature in the lodestone
The loadstone; a species of iron ore (the ferrosoferric or magnetic ore, Fe3O4) which has the property of attracting iron and some of its ores, and, when freely suspended, of pointing to the poles; called also natural magnet
A body that attracts ferromagnetic materials Can be a Permanent magnet, Temporary Magnet, or Electromagnet
n a piece of metal or iron having the majority of its molecules aligned in the same direction, causing an attractive force, or a magnetic field, to occur
A magnet is a piece of iron or other material which attracts iron towards it. a fridge magnet. Any material capable of attracting iron and producing a magnetic field outside itself. By the end of the 19th century, all known elements and many compounds had been tested for magnetism, and all were found to have some magnetic property. However, only three elements iron, nickel, and cobalt exhibit ferromagnetism. See also compass, electromagnet
Any material that has a permanent magnetic field There are plastic magnets like refrigerator magnets, ceramic magnets (usually black), and rare earth magnets (which usually look like metal) Magnets have a north pole and a south pole The north pole of a magnet is the one that attracts the south compass pointer
This attracts magnetic materials such as iron, steel, cobalt and nickel It attracts or repels other magnets
A device which has the ability to attract or repel pieces of iron or other magnetic material Speaker magnets provide a stationary magnetic field so that when the coil produces magnetic energy, it is either repelled or attracted by the stationary magnet 2
Powerful ceramic magnets provide the stationary field that causes the ferrite material to exhibit circulator properties Typically a pair of magnets is placed either side of the ferrite components
