3021
magnetic dip
See DIP.
3022
magnetic element
VARIATION, DIP, or MAGNETIC INTENSI­TY.
3023
magnetic equator
See EQUATOR.
3024
magnetic field
The space in which a magnetic influ­ence exists.
3025

The magnetic force exerted on a UNIT MAGNETIC POLE placed at any specified point of space. It is a vector quantity. Its direction is taken as the direction toward which a north MAGNETIC POLE would tend to move under the influence of the field. Also called magnetic intensity, magnetic field streng­th.
3026
magnetic field strength
See MAGNETIC FIELD INTENSITY.
3027
magnetic inclination
See DIP.
3028
magnetic induction
The act or process by which mate­rial becomes magnetized when placed in a MAGNETIC FIELD.
3029
magnetic intensity
See MAGNETIC FIELD INTENSITY.
3030
magnetic latitude
See LATITUDE.
3031
magnetic lines of force
Closed lines indicating by their direction the direction of magnetic influence.
3032
magnetic meridian
See MERIDIAN.
3033
magnetic moment
The quantity obtained by multi­plying the distance between two MAGNETIC POLES by the average strength of the poles.
3034
magnetic needle
A small, slender magnetized bar which tends to align itself with MAGNETIC LINES OF FORCE.
3035
magnetic north
See NORTH.
3036
magnetic observation(s)
See OBSERVATION.
3037
magnetic observatory
A place where buildings are equipped for observing temporal changes in the EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD.
3038
magnetic permeability
The property of a magnetizable substance that determines the degree in which it modi­fies the magnetic flux in the region occupied by it.
3039

Either of the two places on the surface of the EARTH where the magnetic DIP is 90°, that in the northern hemisphere being designated north magnetic pole,and that in the southern hemisphere being designated south magnetic pole. The magnetic poles are not fixed and do not coincide with the GEOGRAPHICAL POLES. Either of those two points of a MAGNET where the magnetic force is greatest.

magnetic range
See RANGE.
