magnetism

mag net ism |ˈmagnəˌtizəm ˈmæɡnəˌtɪzəm | ▶noun 1 a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.

In magnetic materials the magnetism is produced by electrons orbiting within the atoms; in most substances the magnetic effects of different electrons cancel each other out, but in some, such as iron, a net magnetic field can be induced by aligning the atoms. 2 the ability to attract and charm people: his personal magnetism attracted men to the brotherhood. ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from modern Latin magnetismus, from Latin magneta (see magnet ).
