Magnetism
For other senses of this word, see magnetism (disambiguation).In physics, magnetism is one of the phenomena by which materials exert attractive or repulsive forces on other materials. Some well known materials that exhibit easily detectable magnetic properties (called magnets) are nickeliron and their alloys; however, all materials are influenced to greater or lesser degree by the presence of a magnetic field.
