On and Off, Off and On: Magnetic Switches How are magnets used in switches, and why are magnetic-powered electric switches important? “On-Off” switches are about as ubiquitous as traffic lights, conventional light switches, and stop signs. Around the world, people frequently interact with these everyday and mundane — yet very important — tools. Something as [...]
1. What is a magnetic sensor? A magnetic sensor usually refers to a sensor that converts the magnitude and variations of a magnetic field into electric signals. Magnetic fields, as exemplified by the magnetic field of the earth (earth magnetism) or magnets are familiar yet invisible phenomena. Magnetic sensors that convert invisible magnetic fields into [...]
Magnets in Sensors Demonstrated Value of Magnets in Sensors and Everyday Uses Driving a car, talking into a microphone, inserting coins into a machine — these common, mundane activities may seem completely unrelated, but there’s one shared element at work that may not cross your mind: the presence of magnets. More specifically, magnets are present [...]
The Horseshoe Magnet: Frequently Asked Questions We have collected the most common questions asked about horseshoe magnets. Where does the term "magnet" come from?Magnet The name of all artificial magnets derives from the naturally magnetic mineral magnetite. This in turn is said to have originally been discovered in the Greek region of Magnesia. The version [...]
