magnetics

Study of magnetism

Magnetics is the branch of physics dealing with magnetism—the forces, fields, and phenomena associated with magnetic materials and electric currents.

The term often appears in technical and engineering contexts: advances in magnetics have revolutionized data storage.

It can also refer collectively to magnetic components or devices: the magnetics in this circuit need replacing.
