  2. Magnet Recognition Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_Recognition_Program

    The Magnet Recognition Program is a recognition program operated by the American Nurses Credentialing Center that allows nurses to recognize nursing excellence in other nurses. It is considered the highest recognition for nursing excellence. [1] The program also offers an avenue to disseminate successful nursing practices and strategies.

  3. Magnetic nanoparticles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_nanoparticles

    Ferrite nanoparticles or iron oxide nanoparticles (iron oxides in crystal structure of maghemite or magnetite) are the most explored magnetic nanoparticles up to date.Once the ferrite particles become smaller than 128 nm [22] they become superparamagnetic which prevents self agglomeration since they exhibit their magnetic behavior only when an external magnetic field is applied.

  4. Magnet motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_motor

    A magnet motor or magnetic motor is a type of perpetual motion machine, which is intended to generate a rotation by means of permanent magnets in stator and rotor without external energy supply. Such a motor is theoretically as well as practically not realizable. [1][2] The idea of functioning magnetic motors has been promoted by various hobbyists.

  5. Coercivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercivity

    Coercivity, also called the magnetic coercivity, coercive field or coercive force, is a measure of the ability of a ferromagnetic material to withstand an external magnetic field without becoming demagnetized. Coercivity is usually measured in oersted or ampere /meter units and is denoted HC. An analogous property in electrical engineering and ...

  6. Magnetic hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_hysteresis

    The intercepts hc and mrs are the coercivity and saturation remanence. Magnetic hysteresis occurs when an external magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnet such as iron and the atomic dipoles align themselves with it. Even when the field is removed, part of the alignment will be retained: the material has become magnetized.

  7. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism. The most familiar effects occur in ferromagnetic ...

  8. Rare-earth magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet

    A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements. Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets. The magnetic field typically produced by rare-earth ...

  9. Lodestone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodestone

    Lodestone. Lodestones are naturally magnetized pieces of the mineral magnetite. [1][2] They are naturally occurring magnets, which can attract iron. The property of magnetism was first discovered in antiquity through lodestones. [3] Pieces of lodestone, suspended so they could turn, were the first magnetic compasses, [3][4][5][6] and their ...
