  • Radiographic magnification

    To mitigate the magnification or distortion that may occur in a radiographic image captured on film emulsion, it is advisable to diminish the distance between the object and the film. Simultaneously, enhancing the separation between the focus and the film can also contribute to minimizing these undesirable effects. By reducing the object-film distance, the image…

  • Magnetics

    The realm of scientific inquiry concerned with the intricacies of magnetic phenomena is known as magnetology. This captivating field delves into the enigmatic forces and interactions exhibited by magnets, shedding light on their mesmerizing properties and behavior. Magnetology encompasses a wide spectrum of research, exploring the intricate dance of magnetic fields, the interplay between magnetism…

  • Magnetic retentivity

    The capacity of a specific material to retain a magnetic charge.  

  • Magnetic recording

    A method used to acquire a lasting representation of an electrical signal involves converting the signal into a magnetic field, which is then utilized to permanently magnetize a storage medium. Popular devices that employ this technique include video tape recorders and video disk recorders.  

  • Magnetic pole

    One of the two poles of a magnet near which the magnetic intensity is greatest. These poles are known as north and south.

  • Magnetic permeability

    The susceptibility of a specific material to magnetization.  

  • Magnetic material

    A substance that exhibits magnetic characteristics is referred to as a magnetic material. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, are notable examples of materials possessing strong magnetic properties.  

  • Magnetic induction

    When an unmagnetized piece of iron is brought into proximity with a magnet, the iron undergoes magnetization. This phenomenon is referred to as magnetic induction.  

  • Magnetic flux

    The domain of magnetic sensitivity that permeates the vicinity of magnetic field lines.  

  • Magnetic field strength

    The measure of the magnetic force encompassing an electrified magnet.
