Magnetism

AB
magnetic forcethe force magnetic field exerts on a magnet, on a ferromagnetic material, or on a moving electric charge
magnetic polea region on a magnet where the force produced by the magnet is strongest
magnetic fielda field in a region of space that exerts magnetic forces; a field produced by magnets, by changing electric fields, or by moving charges
magnetospherethe area surrounding Earth that is influenced by Earth's magnetic field
magnetic domaina region that has a large number of atoms with aligned magnetic fields
ferromagnetic materiala material that can be magnetized because it contains magnetic domains
electromagnetic forcea force associated with charged particles, which has two aspects, electric and magnetic fforce

electromagneta solenoid with a ferromagnetic core
galvanometera device that uses an electromagnet to measure small amounts of current
electric motora device that uses an electromgnet to turn an axle
electromagnetic inductionthe process of generating a current by moving an electrical conductor relative to a magnetic field
generatora devicethat converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by the relative motion of a coil of wire with respect to a magnetic field
transformera device that increases or decreases the voltage of two linked AC circuits
