- A class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.
- The SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would drive one ampere of current against one ohm resistance.
- The emission of electrons or other free carriers when light hits a material. Electrons emitted in this manner can be called photoelectrons. This phenomenon is commonly studied in electronic physics and in fields of chemistry such as quantum chemistry and electrochemistry.
- A body of water or air moving in a definite direction, especially through a surrounding body of water or air in which there is less movement.
- Vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion and magnetized materials.
- A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
- Natural frequency of vibration determined by the physical parameters of the vibrating object.
- A type of elementary particle. It is the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. The invariant mass of the photon is zero; it always moves at the speed of light in a vacuum.
- The reinforcement or prolongation of sound by reflection from a surface or by the synchronous vibration of a neighboring object.
- A rock mineral and one of the main iron ores, with the chemical formula Fe₃O₄. It is one of the oxides of iron, and is ferrimagnetic; it is attracted to a magnet and can be magnetized to become a permanent magnet itself. It is the most magnetic of all the naturally-occurring minerals on Earth.

- A material or object that produces a magnetic field.
- The SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second.
- A form of medical imaging that measures the response of the atomic nuclei of body tissues to high-frequency radio waves when placed in a strong magnetic field, and that produces images of the internal organs.

- Danish physicist and chemist who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields.
- The maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.
- Region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. A bar magnet suspended in Earth's magnetic field orients itself in a north–south direction. The north-seeking pole of such a magnet, or any similar pole, is called a north magnetic pole.
- The flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The nucleus contains positively charged particles called protons and uncharged particles called neutrons.
- An English scientist who contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.
- The number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency. The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

Many who followed this philosophy were devout Christians, but they wanted governments to be secular (non-religious).
- This was a common hobby of Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius… so long as a dead body is involved
- In this era of European history, nearly 90% of the population were peasants living in warring city states. Secular advancements were limited during this time period which lasted several centuries.
