MAGNET( ize ), v. { mag-ni-tize } [ I ] To give ( something ) magnetic properties — To magnetize a needle. [ II ] To strongly attract or spellbind ( someone ) — Billie’s confidence magnetizes people towards him. { Semantic Field } [ nouns ] Magnetization, magnet, magnetism, electromagnet, lodestone, magnetizer, coercivity, polarity, hysteresis, armature, coil, solenoid, current, needle, compass, permeability, iron, pole, flux, galvanometer, wire, induction, pulsar, plasma, oscillation, particle, diaphragm, steel, neutron, field, core. [ adjectives ] Magnetic, ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, electromagnetic, iron, electric, polarized. [ verbs ] Demagnetize, rotate. [ proper nouns ] Mesmer, Faraday.

Hysteresis refers to how the magnetic flux in the metal lags behind the external magnetizing force. [ Wikipedia ] The reason for this is, that a given magnetizing force will set up in iron a vastly greater number of lines of magnetic force than in air or in any other non-magnetic material.American School of Correspondence, Cyclopedia of Telephony and Telegraphy Vol. 1 — A General [ Project Gutenberg ] He demonstrated that a wire carrying a current could deflect a magnetized compass needle. [ Wikipedia ] Now this constant turmoil in the ether which creates the magnetic area explains why the magnetized needle of a compass unfailingly points north and south.Bassett, [ Project Gutenberg ] In magnetized iron, the electronic spins of the domains are aligned and the magnetic effects are reinforced. [ Wikipedia ] The main gateway to the world of Elves in Lancre is surrounded by several large boulders of naturally magnetised meteoric iron. [ Wikipedia ]

From Classical Latin magnetis, genitive of magnes, ‘magnet or loadstone’; from Ancient Greek Magnētis ( lithos ), ‘Magnesian stone ( from Magnesia, Thessalian region of Greece )’.
