Algebar and Elgebar are seen in poetry for this star, but it universally is known as Rigel, from Rijl Jauzah al Yusra, the Left Leg of the Jauzah (Jauzah was the Arabic title for Orion), by which extended title the Arabians knew it after the word Jauzah had become a personal title; the modern name first appearing in the Alfonsine Tables of 1521.
MAGNET: A material that has the property, either natural or induced, of attracting iron or steel. MAGNETIC FIELD: The space around a magnet in which the magnetic force can be detected. MAGNETIC FLUX: The total magnetic induction across or through a specified area. MAGNETIC INDUCTION, B: The production of magnetic properties in a magnetizable substance when placed in a magnetic field.
Magnets are pieces of metal that have the ability to attract other metals. Every magnet has two poles: a north and a south. Much like electrical charges, two similar magnetic poles repel each other; while opposite magnetic poles attract each other. Magnets have a continuous force around them that is known as a magnetic field. This field enables them to attract other metals. Figure 1 illustrates this force using bar and horseshoe magnets. The shape of the magnet dictates the path the lines of force will take.
