- Magnetism is what gives magnets their ability to attract objects made of iron or steel. A magnet creates around itself a region of space with special properties. This region is known as a MAGNETIC FIELD. When two magnets come near each other, their fields create forces that attract or repel.

magnetism Magnetism is the power to attract. It refers to the attraction to iron and other metals in electric currents and magnets, or to the other kind of attraction — where people want to be close to each other. Different kinds of magnetism cause some magnets to attract, while others repel. Magnetism can also be called a magnetic force or magnetic attraction. Chemistry and earth science are two classes you might learn about magnetism in.

- Magnetism is the phenomenon associated with the motion of electric charges, although the study of magnets was very confused before the 19th century because of the existence of ferromagnets, substances such as iron bar magnets which maintain a magnetic field where no obvious electric current is present (see below).

magnetic field magnetic field. The definition of a magnetic field is a place in space near a magnet or an electric current where a physical field is created from a moving electric charge that creates force on another moving electric charge. An example of a magnetic field is the Earth's magnetic field.

What Is Magnetism? Magnetism arises from the very structure of the atom. Each atom consists of a nucleus that contains neutral neutrons and positive protons. Negatively charged electrons are constantly in motion around this nucleus, and it is this motion that causes a magnetic field.

What is magnetism?   Magnetism is the force generated by any moving charged particle or charged particles. A magnetic field is the result of the motion of a charged particle or charged particles, and this field is generated in no other way. Any time a charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic field around its path of travel.

Glossary of physics A magnetic field is the magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any given point is specified by both a direction and a magnitude (or strength); as such it is represented by a vector field.

North Pole magnetic pole. 1  Either of two regions of a magnet, designated north and south, where the magnetic field is strongest. 2  Either of two regions of the Earth's surface at which magnetic lines of force are perpendicular to the Earth's surface.

INTRODUCTION Magnets are pieces of metal that have the ability to attract other metals. Every magnet has two poles: a north and a south. Much like electrical charges, two similar magnetic poles repel each other; while opposite magnetic poles attract each other. Magnets have a continuous force around them that is known as a magnetic field. This field enables them to attract other metals. Figure 1 illustrates this force using bar and horseshoe magnets. The shape of the magnet dictates the path the lines of force will take.

Magnet A magnet is a very special metal. When a magnet goes near a special kind of metal or other magnets, and the poles (sides) touching are opposite, it will pull, or attract the other metal or magnet closer. Also, if the two poles are the same, the two magnets will push away, or repel, from each other.

Magnetism Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.ecause this is a cross product, the force is perpendicular to both the motion of the particle and the magnetic field. It follows that the magnetic force does no work on the particle; it may change the direction of the particle's movement, but it cannot cause it to speed up or slow down.
