Magnetics Insights

What is Magnetics?

Magnetics is the study and application of magnetic fields and materials. It involves understanding how magnetic fields are generated, how they interact with materials, and how these interactions can be used in various technologies. Common applications include electric motors, generators, transformers, magnetic storage (hard drives), sensors, and medical imaging (MRI).
