magnetic coil

Spiral of a conductor which is called an electromagnet.

magnetic core

Material that exists in the center of the magnetic coil

magnetic field

Magnetic lines of force traveling from the north pole to the south pole of a magnet.  

magnetic flux

The magnetic lines of force produced by a magnet.

minority carriers

The conduction band holes in n-type material and valence band electrons in p-type material.

modulation

To superimpose characteristics of a signal on a carrier frequency for transmission of the signal

monostable multivibrator

multivibrator

A class of circuits made to produce square waves or pulses.

mutual inductance

Mutual Inductance is property of electric circuits in which an electromotive force so called emf is induced by the process of electromagnetic induction in one of the circuits by a change of current in any one of them
