Later the Chinese dis-covered the Earth s magnetic field and use magnets as compasses. Starting withthe XVIIth Century, electric and magnetic phenomena were scientifically investi-gated. The corresponding chemical elements were identified and such properties asthe dependence of magnetization on temperature were placed in an external magnetic field, some materials create a magneticfield of their own. It points either in the same direction ( paramagnetism ) orin the opposite direction ( diamagnetism ).
