Attraction (), 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]
?
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.
