ICP Magnetism
Traverse
To pass or move over, along, or through
Deflect
To turn aside, especially from a straight or fixed course.
Electric Field
a field of force surrounding a charged particle
Bar Magnet
a magnet in the shape of a bar that has a north and south pole
Superconductor
a material that has almost zero resistance when it is cooled to low temperatures
Phenomenon
an unusual, observable event
Magnetic Pole
one of the two ends of a magnet where the magnetism seems to be concentrated
Electric Dipoles
unequal electron sharing
Geographic Pole
"True North". An imaginary point on Earth's surface marking an axis point around which the planet rotates.
Horseshoe Magnet
A bar magnet, bent into the shape of a horseshoe so that the two poles are adjacent. Usually the term applies to a permanent magnet.
Electric Motor
A device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy
Generator
A device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Iron Filings
A fragment of iron rubbed off by a file; can be used to show if a material is magnetic.
Magnetic Domains
A group of atoms whose magnetic fields are aligned
Alloy
A mixture of two or more metals
Electromagnet
All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
Magnetic Poles
At either end of magnet where magnetic pull is the strongest
Concentric Circles
Circles that lie in the same plane and have the same center
Galvanometer
Instrument that uses an electromagnet to measure electric current.
Magnetic Field Lines
Invisible lines that map out the magnetic field around a magnet
Electrons
Negatively charged particles
Magnetic Field
The area of magnetic force around a magnet
