Ferrimagnetic is always a great word to know.
So is electric intensity. Does it mean:
the magnitude of an electric field at a point equal to the force that would be exerted on a small unit charge placed at the point
a very large colliding-beam machine in which superconducting magnets create millions of megavolts of energy
