Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
magnetostriction
a change in the length of a ferromagnetic material as the flux changes under the influence of an applied magnetic field, or resulting from domain formation after cooling from above Curie temperature. In an AC device, the steel in the core expands and contracts twice each cycle, creating audible noise (e.g., transformer hum).
