COLLOCATIONS FROM CORPUS

compass
▪
Turns on to headings will be made at the standard rate, but using the stop-watch, not magnetic compass .
▪
Remember that the magnetic compass , clock and stop-watch are your most important navigation instruments.
▪
If this is simply a directional gyro it must be synchronised with the magnetic compass at frequent intervals.
dipole
▪
In this case a substantial internal magnetic dipole moment is expected.
▪
The rotation depends on the scalar product of the electric dipole and magnetic dipole transition moments.
▪
In order for a planet to possess a magnetosphere it need not have an internal magnetic dipole moment.
▪
The reason for the low upper limit on the internal magnetic dipole moment is not properly understood.
▪
Observations by Mariner 10 have demonstrated that Mercury does have an intrinsic magnetic dipole moment.
▪
The upper limit on the internal magnetic dipole moment is only 0.00005 of that of the Earth.
disk
▪
Search times are usually slower than magnetic disks , because the reading head has to follow a track.
▪
Electronic cameras record light as a series of digital impulses on a magnetic disk .
field
▪
The radio waves, magnetic field and computer technology combine to produce vivid images of the body's soft tissue.
▪
They sank a drill in the exact center of the magnetic field to get a core sample for study.
▪
Not surprisingly these force patterns resemble the pattern of magnetic field lines across the aperture of a quadrupole magnet.
▪
Until recently geophysicists thought that at this low point the magnetic field would also go haywire.
▪
They say that the concentrated magnetic fields in sunspots spread out all over the sun somewhat after the maximum of solar activity.
▪
The magnetic field is thus one aspect of the earth that scientists have studied in detail for centuries.
▪
Maximum resonance occurs at a specific conjunction of microwave frequency and magnetic field strength.
▪
The magnetic field that led to its discovery had vanished at the moment of that radio shriek.
flux
▪
The left hand can also be used to demonstrate the magnetic flux surrounding a wire carrying a current.
▪
The field at these sites is particularly intense, as if the magnetic flux lines have been tied into tight bundles.
▪
The other acts as a pickup coil producing a voltage proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linking it.
▪
Together with differential rotation, this causes a large amount of mechanical energy and magnetic flux to pass through the surface.
▪
Coiling the wire into a loop permits directional flow of the magnetic flux through the loop.
force
▪
Believing in your Dreams is a powerful magnetic force !
▪
Internal injuries are detected through magnetic forces which are then relayed on to computer screens.
▪
He felt as if he were pressing against a strong, polarised magnetic force .
▪
They sear across the ice, moving in unison as if some magnetic force holds them together.
▪
Maybe it is these that enable them to feel within their bodies the contours of the earth's magnetic forces .
▪
Neutral atoms enter this cloud rather than Io's torus because they are not influenced by magnetic forces whereas charged particles are.
▪
What had happened was that the passage of electrical current created huge magnetic forces which constricted the tube.
media
▪
The computer-controlled telescope stores these images on magnetic media .
north
▪
To all intents and purposes, though, magnetic north remains north.
▪
The compass needle points to the magnetic north pole.
▪
The flow of a magnetic field is taken from magnetic north pole to magnetic south pole.
▪
Two people standing at distant points on the globe would have completely different ideas about where the magnetic north pole lay.
▪
True magnetic north , as measured by compasses, is several hundred miles to the east.
pole
▪
For the past eleven years, the Sun's north geographic pole has also been home to its north magnetic pole.
▪
But a feature of each solar cycle is that the magnetic poles reverse.
▪
For R N transitions they should have plotted the north magnetic pole .
pull
▪
The newly created Reclamation Service exerted a magnetic pull on the best engineering graduates in the country.
resonance
▪
After undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging test yesterday at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, Gagne was told what doctors had already suspected.
▪
Because of its superior contrast capabilities magnetic resonance imaging is the current first choice technique for assessing instability of the cervical spine.
▪
Others use magnetic resonance imaging, like those used to find tissue damage in humans, to detect explosives.
▪
This unusual complication is best imaged by computed tomography or nuclear magnetic resonance and needs conservative treatment.
▪
In addition, researchers did magnetic resonance imaging scans of the women's legs to look for increases in muscle size.
▪
Of special interest are the clearly presented sections on spectral jumps, and single-spin magnetic resonance experiments.
▪
They are using a type of magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate consciousness in comatose patients.
survey
▪
Ground magnetic surveys were continued in the Exeter district to investigate anomalies seen on aeromagnetic contour plots.
▪
During the past year we have been conducting a magnetic survey of the region, from a low-level satellite.
tape
▪
Occasionally users still require their data on magnetic tape and so this facility remains available.
▪
This included new forms of magnetic tapes , each of which could hold hundreds of intercepted microwave communications channels.
▪
Data were downloaded on to magnetic tape for long term storage.
▪
Reams of data, miles of magnetic tape , but none of it satisfies even my own primitive appetite for answers.
▪
Furthermore, some media such as magnetic tapes are subject to storage degradation if they are not regularly used.
▪
A dozen flying machines and their pilots would be no more than a blip on a piece of magnetic tape .
▪
Small files that demand multiple-key handling are usually stored on magnetic tape and processed sequentially.
▪
The transfer medium is magnetic tape .

magnetic/gravitational/force field
▪
All that is left is a strong, but invisible, gravitational field .
▪
All this occurs in magnetic fields very much above the maximum tolerated by the superconducting state.
▪
As the star shrank, the gravitational field at the surface would become stronger and the escape velocity would increase.
▪
At the upper critical field the magnetic field completely penetrated the sample and it reverted entirely to its normal state.
▪
In a few rare cases, lava flows on land have taken place just as the magnetic field was undergoing a reversal.
▪
It does raise the question of how pigeons detect the magnetic field .
▪
The flow of a magnetic field is taken from magnetic north pole to magnetic south pole.
