Reference Materials

 These links are mostly to external websites which we have, from time-to-time found, and wish to share with the magnetics community. We would appreciate your suggestions for additional listings. 

Reference Materials

•  Books and Videos  - An extensive listing of reference material
•  CIPCO Energy Library - Learn about Motors & Drives, Fundamentals of Electricity, Commercial Energy Systems, Power Quality, etc. 
•  Dictionary and Conversion Factors - An online HTML document from the University of Exeter, U.K.; frequently updated and expanded 
•  Earth's Magnetosphere - An educational web site by David P. Stern and Mauricio Peredo. This site contains information on: Magnetism, Electrons, Ions and Plasmas, Radiation Belts, The Sun and the Solar Wind, Exploring Earthspace, The Dynamic Magnetosphere, Close-Up of the Aurora, Magnetospheres and the Universe. 
•  Electrical Engineering Training Series - Integrated Publishing's VERY informative site covers a wide range of topics including motors and generators - to which this link goes. 
•  Magnet FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about magnets. 
•   Glossaries  - Glossaries of terms common to the study and use of magnetics 
•  Hall Effect Measurements - A tutorial presented on the NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology, U.S.A.) Web site explaining the history and functioning of Hall devices. Includes a worksheet and example. 
•  HyperPhysics at Georgia State University - Extensive physics and math lessons for college-level students including electricity and magnetism. A CD of the content may be purchased from them. Highly recommended! 
•  Magnet Man  - "Cool Experiments with Magnets." This Web site is devoted to magnetism and experiments you can perform with permanent magnets and electro-magnets. Site also includes links to many other sites, reference book list, sources for the materials used in the experiments, and more. 
•  Magnetism: Quantities, Units and Relationships - Good fundamentals about magnetism from the the University of Surrey (England), Electronic Engineering Department. Links are a bit tricky, but there's a wealth of information here. 
•  Molecular Expressions Web Site - This link is to the Electricity and Magnetism Section of the site nominated for the 2001 Webby Award in the Sciences category. Many educational tutorials. 
•  NDT Resource Center - NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) ofen uses magnetic particles and technology to achieve the goal of physical examination without causing permanent change to the object being inspected. This site offers considerable information on the background of the test technique with basics in magnetism. 
•  SI Units and Physical Constants  - A thorough document is available from NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology, U.S.A.) providing conversion factors and with an explanation of the build-up of the units systems from fundamental units to derived units. 
•  SQUID - Superconducting Quantum Interference Device - defined at Wikipedia  and at University of Liverpool (Dr. Bland thesis). 
•  University of Birmingham  - History and description of magnetism and details on magnetics.
