Magnetize :: Magnetize (v. t.) To bring under the influence of animal magnetism.

Electro-magnetism :: Electro-magnetism (n.) The magnetism developed by a current of electricity; the science which treats of the development of magnetism by means of voltaic electricity, and of the properties or actions of the currents evolved..

Magnetically :: Magnetically (adv.) By or as by, magnetism..

Hysteresis :: Hysteresis (n.) A lagging or retardation of the effect, when the forces acting upon a body are changed, as if from velocity or internal friction; a temporary resistance to change from a condition previously induced, observed in magnetism, thermoelectricity, etc., on reversal of polarity..

Physiography :: Physiography (n.) The science which treats of the earth's exterior physical features, climate, life, etc., and of the physical movements or changes on the earth's surface, as the currents of the atmosphere and ocean, the secular variations in heat, moisture, magnetism, etc.; physical geography..

Magneto- :: Magneto- () A prefix meaning pertaining to, produced by, or in some way connected with, magnetism..

Biomagnetism :: Biomagnetism (n.) Animal magnetism.

Biomagnetic :: Biomagnetic (a.) Relating to biomagnetism.

Photomagnetic :: Photomagnetic (a.) Of or pertaining to photomagnetism.

Oligist :: Oligist (a.) Hematite or specular iron ore; -- prob. so called in allusion to its feeble magnetism, as compared with magnetite..

Diamagnetic :: Diamagnetic (a.) Pertaining to, or exhibiting the phenomena of, diamagnetism; taking, or being of a nature to take, a position at right angles to the lines of magnetic force. See Paramagnetic..

Imponderable :: Imponderable (n.) An imponderable substance or body; specifically, in the plural, a name formerly applied to heat, light, electricity, and magnetism, regarded as subtile fluids destitute of weight but in modern science little used..

Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) The science which treats of magnetic phenomena.

Photomagnetism :: Photomagnetism (n.) The branch of science which treats of the relation of magnetism to light.

Electro-biology :: Electro-biology (n.) That phase of mesmerism or animal magnetism, the phenomena of which are supposed to be produced by a form of electricity..

Steel :: Steel (n.) A variety of iron intermediate in composition and properties between wrought iron and cast iron (containing between one half of one per cent and one and a half per cent of carbon), and consisting of an alloy of iron with an iron carbide. Steel, unlike wrought iron, can be tempered, and retains magnetism. Its malleability decreases, and fusibility increases, with an increase in carbon..

Mechanico-chemical :: Mechanico-chemical (a.) Pertaining to, connected with, or dependent upon, both mechanics and chemistry; -- said especially of those sciences which treat of such phenomena as seem to depend on the laws both of mechanics and chemistry, as electricity and magnetism..
