Sentences with phrase «opposing magnetic poles»

Furthermore, von Stroheim needs to resemble a scowling marble statue in order to balance Gloria Swanson's grandiose silent - screen swanning; the two of them represent opposing magnetic poles irretrievably attracted to each other.

Dr. Roee Ozeri of the Institute's Physics of Complex Systems Department says: «The electron has spin, a form of orientation involving two opposing magnetic poles.

Not exact matches

Yet, despite their widespread use, at room temperature only three elements are ferromagnetic — meaning they have high susceptibility to becoming and remaining magnetic in the absence of a field, as opposed to paramagnetic substances, which are only weakly attracted to the poles of a magnet and do not retain any magnetism on their own.

The planets may have a spin - orbit coupling effect on the Sun which affects its rotation rate, which would then affect the solar dynamo and sunspot production, and therefore the build up of magnetic flux at the poles, and the length of a solar cycle: if the solar cycle is weaker with less sunspots, it'll take longer for the build up of opposing flux to reach the point when it flips the poles.
