Attraction \At*trac"tion\, n. [L. attractio: cf. F. attraction.]
   1. (Physics) An invisible power in a body by which it draws
      anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually
      between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them
      together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and
      conversely resisting separation.
      [1913 Webster]

   Note: Attraction is exerted at both sensible and insensible
         distances, and is variously denominated according to
         its qualities or phenomena. Under attraction at
         sensible distances, there are, -- (1.)

   Attraction of gravitation, which acts at all distances
      throughout the universe, with a force proportional
      directly to the product of the masses of the bodies and
      inversely to the square of their distances apart. (2.)

   Magnetic, diamagnetic, and electrical attraction, each
      of which is limited in its sensible range and is polar in
      its action, a property dependent on the quality or
      condition of matter, and not on its quantity. Under
      attraction at insensible distances, there are, -- (1.)

   Adhesive attraction, attraction between surfaces of
      sensible extent, or by the medium of an intervening
      substance. (2.)

   Cohesive attraction, attraction between ultimate particles,
      whether like or unlike, and causing simply an aggregation
      or a union of those particles, as in the absorption of
      gases by charcoal, or of oxygen by spongy platinum, or the
      process of solidification or crystallization. The power in
      adhesive attraction is strictly the same as that of
      cohesion. (3.)

   Capillary attraction, attraction causing a liquid to rise,
      in capillary tubes or interstices, above its level
      outside, as in very small glass tubes, or a sponge, or any
      porous substance, when one end is inserted in the liquid.
      It is a special case of cohesive attraction. (4.)

   Chemical attraction, or

   affinity, that peculiar force which causes elementary
      atoms, or groups of atoms, to unite to form molecules.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. The act or property of attracting; the effect of the power
      or operation of attraction. --Newton.
      [1913 Webster]

   3. The power or act of alluring, drawing to, inviting, or
      engaging; an attractive quality; as, the attraction of
      beauty or eloquence.
      [1913 Webster]

   4. That which attracts; an attractive object or feature.
      [1913 Webster]

   Syn: Allurement; enticement; charm.
        [1913 Webster]

Diamagnetic \Di`a*mag*net"ic\, n.
   Any substance, as bismuth, glass, phosphorous, etc., which in
   a field of magnetic force is differently affected from the
   ordinary magnetic bodies, as iron; that is, which tends to
   take a position at right angles to the lines of magnetic
   force, and is repelled by either pole of the magnet.
   Contrasted with paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.
