11.Magnetic Flux

The magnetic induction(B) over an area(A), when it is uniformly distributed and is normal to the area.

12.Keeper

A soft iron piece temporarily added between the poles of a magnetic circuit to protect it from
demagnetizing influences. Also called a shunt. Not needed for Neodymium and other modern magnets.

13.What is a magnet?

A magnet is an object that is made of materials that create a magnetic field. Magnets have
poles,Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole.

14.magnetic poles

The points, or poles, where their magnetic strength is concentrated. We label them north and south
because suspended magnets orient along north-south planes. On different magnets, like poles repel
each other, opposite poles attract.

15.North Pole

That magnetic pole which attracts the geographic North Pole

16.magnetic field

A magnetic field is the region in space where a magnetic force can be detected. The magnetic field
strength and direction can be measured in terms of strength and direction.

17.Anisotropic (oriented)

The material has a preferred direction of magnetic orientation.

18.Isotropic (non-oriented)

The material has no preferred direction of magnetic orientation, which allows magnetization in any
direction.
