Magnetism Vocabulary

Students can understand the vacabulary terms dealing with electrical magnetism.

AB
FerromagneticA material that can be magnetized easily falls into this category.
DiamagneticMaterial that can not be magnetize easily falls into this category.
Magnetic flux linesInvisible lines of force that surround a magnet.
Magnetomotive ForceForce produces magnetic flux lines
ElectromagnetismCurrent is induce when a conductor moves through a magnetic field.
ReluctanceThe resistance to magnetic flux
ParamagnetismMaterial that is affected by magnet field
Permanent magnetsMagnets that have a persistent magnetic field caused by ferromagnetism
Temporary magnetsMagnets that lose their magnetic properties
PermeabilityAbility of a material or substance to conduct magnetic lines of force
Retentivity or residual magnetismThe amount of magnetization that remains after the external magnetizing field is removed.
SaturationThe condition where all the material has been completely magnetized.
North PoleThe magnetic flield or flux lines leave the magnetic material
South PoleThe magnetic flux lines enter the magnetic material
Laws of magnetismLike poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other
