Examples from texts

La pile et la machine statique fournissent l'une comme l'autre, quand on réunit leurs pôles par un fil, un courant électrique entouré d'un champ magnétique, capable de dévier l'aiguille d'un galvanomètre.

Là, nous apercevions des formes hémisphériques comme des dômes d'église; ici, des tours gothiques se dressaient devant nous; ailleurs, c'étaient des aiguilles gigantesques dont la pointe semblait percer la voûte bleue.

But we had a guide as to our direction, unerring as the magnetic needle: we were traversing the region of the "polar plant," the planes of whose leaves, at almost every step, pointed out our meridian.
