| A | B |
| Ferromagnetic | A material that can be magnetized easily falls into this category. |
| Diamagnetic | Material that can not be magnetize easily falls into this category. |
| Magnetic flux lines | Invisible lines of force that surround a magnet. |
| Magnetomotive Force | Force produces magnetic flux lines |
| Electromagnetism | Current is induce when a conductor moves through a magnetic field. |
| Reluctance | The resistance to magnetic flux |
| Paramagnetism | Material that is affected by magnet field |
| Permanent magnets | Magnets that have a persistent magnetic field caused by ferromagnetism |
| Temporary magnets | Magnets that lose their magnetic properties |
| Permeability | Ability of a material or substance to conduct magnetic lines of force |
| Retentivity or residual magnetism | The amount of magnetization that remains after the external magnetizing field is removed. |
| Saturation | The condition where all the material has been completely magnetized. |
| North Pole | The magnetic flield or flux lines leave the magnetic material |
| South Pole | The magnetic flux lines enter the magnetic material |
| Laws of magnetism | Like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other |
