— Noun
– English
~ an ink that contains particles of a magnetic substance whose presence can be detected by magnetic sensors
magnetic compass
— Noun
– English
~ compass based on an indicator (as a magnetic needle) that points to the magnetic north
magnetic bottle
— Noun
– English
~ container consisting of any configuration of magnetic fields used to contain a plasma during controlled thermonuclear reactions
magnetic flux
— Noun
– English
~ the lines of force surrounding a permanent magnet or a moving charged particle
magnetic head
— Noun
– English
