electromagnetism collapse: the branch of physics concerned with electromagnetic phenomena; magnetism produced by an electric current; "electromagnetism was discovered when it was observed that a copper wire carrying an electric current can magnetize pieces of iron or steel near it"

hysteresis collapse: the lagging of an effect behind its cause; especially the phenomenon in which the magnetic induction of a ferromagnetic material lags behind the changing magnetic field

polarization collapse: the phenomenon in which waves of light or other radiation are restricted in direction of vibration; the condition of having or giving polarity

magnetism collapse: the branch of science that studies magnetism; attraction for iron; associated with electric currents as well as magnets; characterized by fields of force

polarity collapse: having an indicated pole (as the distinction between positive and negative electric charges); "he got the polarity of the battery reversed"; "charges of opposite sign"

oscilloscope collapse: electronic equipment that provides visual images of varying electrical quantities

vector collapse: a variable quantity that can be resolved into components; any agent (person or animal or microorganism) that carries and transmits a disease; "mosquitos are vectors of malaria and yellow fever"; "fleas are vectors of the plague"; "aphids are transmitters of plant diseases"; "when medical scientists talk about vectors they are usually talking about insects"; a straight line segment whose length is magnitude and whose orientation in space is direction

readout collapse: an electronic device the displays information is a visual form; the information displayed or recorded on an electronic device; the output of a computer in readable form

magnetic tape collapse: memory device consisting of a long thin plastic strip coated with iron oxide; used to record audio or video signals or to store computer information; "he took along a dozen tapes to record the interview"

microfiche collapse: small sheet of microfilm on which many pages of material have been photographed; a magnification system is used to read the material

nucleus collapse: a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction; any histologically identifiable mass of neural cell bodies in the brain or spinal cord; the positively charged dense center of an atom; (astronomy) the center of the head of a comet; consists of small solid particles of ice and frozen gas that vaporizes on approaching the sun to form the coma and tail

navel collapse: scar where the umbilical cord was attached; the center point or middle of something

spindle collapse: a stick or pin used to twist the yarn in spinning; any of various rotating shafts that serve as axes for larger rotating parts; (biology) tiny fibers that are seen in cell division; the fibers radiate from two poles and meet at the equator in the middle; "chromosomes are distributed by spindles in mitosis and meiosis"

pole collapse: a long (usually round) rod of wood or metal or plastic; one of the two ends of a magnet where the magnetism seems to be concentrated; a long fiberglass sports implement used for pole vaulting; one of two divergent or mutually exclusive opinions; "they are at opposite poles"; "they are poles apart"; one of two antipodal points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects the Earth's surface; one of two points of intersection of the Earth's axis and the celestial sphere; a native or inhabitant of Poland; deoxidize molten metals by stirring them with a wooden pole; support on poles; "pole climbing plants like beans"

bole collapse: a Chadic language spoken in northern Nigeria and closely related to Hausa; a soft oily clay used as a pigment (especially a reddish brown pigment)

arbor collapse: a framework that supports climbing plants; "the arbor provided a shady resting place in the park"; tree (as opposed to shrub)

beeline collapse: the most direct route; "he made a beeline for the bathroom"

absorbing collapse: capable of arousing and holding the attention; "a fascinating story"

lodestone collapse: a permanent magnet consisting of magnetite that possess polarity and has the power to attract as well as to be attracted magnetically

direction finder collapse: radio; determines the direction of incoming radio waves

efficacious collapse: marked by qualities giving the power to produce an intended effect; "written propaganda is less efficacious than the habits and prejudices...of the readers"-Aldous Huxley; "the medicine is efficacious in stopping a cough"

microdot collapse: photograph reduced to the size of a dot (usually for purposes of security)

scoreboard collapse: a large board for displaying the score of a contest (and some other information)

secant collapse: ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle; a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points

microfilm collapse: film on which materials are photographed at greatly reduced size; useful for storage; a magnification system is used to read the material; record on microfilm
