Magnetism

Examples

• Not the least curious of the smaller contrivances is an apparatus which deserves notice as a useful application of magnetism to manufacturing purposes. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Let me add another question or two, not relating indeed to magnetism, but, however, to the theory of the earth. Benjamin Franklin. Memoirs of Benjamin Franklin.
• The more pure and soft the iron is, the stronger will its magnetism be while it lasts, and the more completely will it disappear when the current stops. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The heat, of whatever origin, is applied from below, and the shaft being revolved, four of the armatures lose their magnetism constantly, while the other four gain it, so to speak. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The mode now generally employed to correct deviation is by introducing on board ship masses of iron and magnets to neutralize the action of the ship’s magnetism so far as possible. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Is not magnetism rather interplanetary and interstellar? Walter Libby. An Introduction to the History of Science.
• The ties that bind electricity and magnetism in twinship of relation and interaction were detected, and Faraday's work in induction gave the world at once the dynamo and the motor. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• In it, however, the electrician finds a most interesting combination of metal and magnetism. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• His work and tests regarding magnetism were repeated later on by Hopkinson and Kapp, who then elucidated the whole theory mathematically by means of formulae and constants. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• It was in that year that Ampère discovered that magnetism is the circulation of currents of electricity at right angles to the axis of the needle or bar joining the two poles of the magnet. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• On releasing the key the circuit is broken and magnetism instantly ceases. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• It has been said that although Oersted was the discoverer of electro-magnetism and Ampère its expounder, Faraday made the science of magnets electrically what it is at the present day. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• He observed the actions of magnets, and conjectured the fundamental identity of magnetism and electricity. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• It has been wrought into a softness that lends its susceptible nature to the influence of magnetism, and has been hardened into steel to form the sword and cutting tool. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• Saxton in the United States and Pixii in France were the first to produce organized devices of this class for generating electricity from magnetism. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
