1. Degaussing

   Degaussing is the process of decreasing or eliminating a remnant magnetic field. It is named after the gauss, a unit of magnetism, which in turn was named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. Due to magnetic hysteresis, it is generally not possible to reduce a magnetic field completely to zero, so degaussing typically induces a very small "known" field referred to as bias. Degaussing was originally applied to reduce ships' magnetic signatures during World War II. Degaussing is also used to reduce magnetic fields in cathode ray tube monitors and to destroy data held on magnetic storage.

1. degaussing

   Degaussing is the process of decreasing or eliminating an unwanted magnetic field. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, a mathematician who studied magnetic fields. This process is commonly used with electronic devices, such as computer monitors and television screens, to realign the magnetic fields and eliminate visual disruptions. It can also be used to erase data from magnetic storage devices, or to remove the magnetism from a ship or submarine to make it less detectable.
