Magnetism A - Z

Without magnetism, many scientific and technical achievements of today’s world would be simply impossible. That’s reason enough to take a closer look at the phenomenon of magnetism! Our glossary aims to explain many terms related to magnetism in a way that is thorough and scientifically sound. From "north and south pole", "Gauss and Tesla" to "superconductor"; here, you will find everything on the topic clearly explained and accompanied by numerous colour illustrations.
