Magnetization
(noun)
- The process of magnetizing a material, making it a magnetic material.
- The degree to which a material is magnetized.
Origin:
Derived from the latin word 'magnetizare' meaning to attract with a magnet.
Examples:
- The magnetization of the steel bar was measured using a magnetometer.
- The magnetization of the iron filings was so strong that it held a paper clip.
- The magnetization of the metal increased as a result of the exposure to the magnetic field.
- The magnetization process was completed after several passes through a strong electromagnetic coil.
- The magnetization curve showed the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic moment.
