#magnet a device that attracts iron and produces a magnetic field
supertype: device an instrumentality invented for a particular purpose; "the device is small enough to wear on your wrist"; "a device intended to conserve water"
part: core.bar magnetic_pole.end
subtype: bar_magnet__barmagnet a magnet in the form of a bar with magnetic poles at each end
subtype: electromagnet a temporary magnet made by coiling wire around an iron core; when current flows in the coil the iron becomes a magnet
subtype: magnetic_head an electromagnet (as on a tape recorder) that converts electrical variations into magnetic variations that can be stored on a surface a later retrieved
subtype: field_magnet__fieldmagnet a magnet that provides a magnetic field in a dynamo or electric motor
subtype: magnetic_needle a slender magnet suspended in a magnetic compass on a mounting with little friction; used to indicate the direction of the earth's magnetic pole
subtype: paramagnet magnet made of a substance whose magnetization is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field applied to it
subtype: permanent_magnet__permanentmagnet__static_magnet a magnet that retains its magnetism after being removed from a magnetic field
subtype: stud_finder a small permanent magnet in a metal container; when the magnet clicks against the container it indicates that the magnet is directly over an iron nail that holds the wallboard to a stud
subtype: lodestone__loadstone magnetite that possess polarity and has the power to attract as well as to be attracted magnetically
subtype: solenoid a coil of wire around an iron core; becomes a magnet when current passes through the coil
