| domain theory | a scientific theory that states that magnetic materials contains lots of cells |
| domains | tiny regions or cells within magnets that contain ‘mini-magnets’ |
| unmagnetized (Am) / unmagnetised (Br) | a material in which the domains are not aligned; the material has no magnetic poles/field and cannot attract other magnetic materials |
| permanent | long-lasting |
| compass | an instrument that shows the direction of a magnetic field and is used for navigation |
| field lines / lines of force | lines drawn to show the position and direction of a magnetic field |
| plotting compass | a compass that shows the shape and direction of a magnetic field |
| *dipole | the name for the mini-magnets found in the domains of a magnetic material |
| *field lines / lines of force | lines drawn to show the position and direction of a magnetic field |
