Magnetkraft
Magnetkraft is a term used to describe the magnetic force and related phenomena produced by magnetic fields. In German, the word combines "Magnet" (magnet) and "Kraft" (force), and the expression is sometimes adopted in technical writing or as a brand name to evoke magnet-based power.
Principle: Magnetkraft arises from fundamental interactions between magnetic fields and electric charges or magnetic moments. A
Applications: Technologies that exploit Magnetkraft include electric motors and generators, transformers, magnetic bearings, maglev transportation, and
History: The practical use of magnetic forces traces to early experiments by Oersted, Faraday, and Ampère. The
Safety and environment: High-strength magnets can affect medical implants and electronic devices; care is required during
