Magnetism

Magnetism includes electric current elements, electric current assemblies, magnetic field, magnetic forces, magnetic flux, and magnetic properties of matter.

   

Electric current elements

These are analogous to electric charges in electrostatic theory

Electric current assemblies

These include such things as straight wires and loops, solenoids, toroids, and the like

Mechanics including particle mechanics, rigid body mechanics, norigid mechanics, and gravitation are somewhat connected to magnetism. Thermodynamics including statistical mechanics, classical thermodynamics, and nonclassical thermodynamics is also useful.

This depends heavily on electrostatics including electric charge, electric charge distributions, electric force, electric field, electric potential, electric flux, capacitance, and electrical properties of matter. it also depends heavily on electric current, but only weakly on optics. Relativity, quantum physics, and the structure of matter including subatomic physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, bulk matter physics, and exotic matter are also connected.

Chemistry is also useful, as substances have various magnetic properties. Changes and systems also sometimes demonstrate applications. Astronomy including cosomology, galactic astronomy, stellar astronomy, and solar system astronomy has numerous examples of magnetism. Earth science including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospheric science, physical geography, and geohistory also affect studies of magnetism because the earth itself acts as a magnet. Biology including molecular biology, cell biology, organism biology, systematics, ecology, and biohistory weakly connected to magnetism.

Personal studies including the human body, psychology, and biography will be somewhat useful in study of magnetism. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups seems to be less directly useful. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture is also important. Other areas of knowledge such as institutions, sociology, and history will be connected as this site develops.
