Abstract

Este artículo repasa la historia del magnetismo siguiendo un orden cronológico que comienza con la evolución del conocimiento científico en las primeras civilizaciones, después en Egipto y China, seguido de la antigua Grecia y Roma. Por último, se describen también la Edad Media y la Edad Moderna. Posteriormente, se comentan los hallazgos de los investigadores más importantes en el campo del electromagnetismo como son Oersted, Biot y Savart, Ampère, Sturgeon, Faraday, Lenz, Maxwell y Coulomb. Se resumen los principios básicos del electromagnetismo, con especial énfasis en la relación entre carga eléctrica y magnetismo. Asimismo, es parte esencial la relación entre campos magnéticos y sistemas biológicos, sobre todo semillas y plantas. Con la ayuda de una minuciosa recopilación de bibliografía, se tratan en detalle los efectos sobre diversas especies de plantas que tiene el campo magnético natural de la Tierra, como magnetismo natural, y de los causados por la aplicación de campos magnéticos estacionarios.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-01:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 191 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
