  2. Maglev - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev

    Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in Lower Saxony, Germany A full trip on the Shanghai Transrapid maglev train Example of low-speed urban maglev system, Linimo. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.

  3. Diamagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

    Diamagnetism is the property of materials that are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force.

  4. Seme - Wikipedia

    Seme may refer to: . Seme Border, a settlement in Nigeria on the border with Benin; Seme (dagger), a Maasai term for a type of lion hunting knife Seme (martial arts), Japanese martial arts term meaning to attack

  5. Henry (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_(unit)

    The henry (symbol: H) is the unit of electrical inductance in the International System of Units (SI). [1] If a current of 1 ampere flowing through a coil produces flux linkage of 1 weber turn, that coil has a self-inductance of 1 henry.‌ The unit is named after Joseph Henry (1797–1878), the American scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction independently of and at about the same ...

  6. North magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_magnetic_pole

    Location of the north magnetic pole and the north geomagnetic pole in 2017. [1] The magnetic-north of the earth as a magnet is actually on the southern hemisphere: The north side of magnets are by definition attracted to the geographic north, and opposite poles attract.

  7. Dual language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_language

    Dual language is a form of education in which students are taught literacy and content in two languages. Most dual language programs in the United States teach in English and Spanish, but programs increasingly use a partner language other than Spanish, such as Arabic, Chinese, French, Hawaiian, Japanese, or Korean.

  8. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    This is shown by dropping the magnet through the pipe. The descent of the magnet inside the pipe is observably slower than when dropped outside the pipe. When a voltage is generated by a change in magnetic flux according to Faraday's law, the polarity of the induced voltage is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the ...

  9. Fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-Field_Alternating...

    A Fixed-Field alternating gradient Accelerator (FFA; also abbreviated FFAG) is a circular particle accelerator concept that can be characterized by its time-independent magnetic fields (fixed-field, like in a cyclotron) and the use of alternating gradient strong focusing (as in a synchrotron).
