Magnetism

Atomic mass

Sum of an atom’s protons and neutrons

Ions

When the protons and neutrons

Diamagnetic

demonstrates no magnetic moment (can slightly be repelling) - MRI safe

Paramagnetic

demonstrates a small magnetic

Superparamagnetic

Slightly more attracted

Ferromagnetic

objects that are dangerous and can become projectiles - MRI UNsafe

Protons

Neutrons

Electrons

Magnets

have a north and south pole (bipolar or dipolar)

Gauss

Used to measure low field strengths

Permanent Magnets (open magnet)

created using actual ferromagnetic substances stacked together with magnetic fields facing the same direction-no electricity

Resistive magnets

Use electricity

Superconducting magnets

The popular magnets for research and clinical
