magnetized

Given magnetic properties

Magnetized describes something that has been given magnetic properties—able to attract iron or align with magnetic fields.

A magnetized needle points north; magnetized screwdriver tips hold screws in place.

Figuratively, to be magnetized is to be powerfully drawn: The crowd stood magnetized by her performance.

The spelling magnetised appears in British English.
