1. Magnetic Properties

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Magnetic Material: A substance that exhibits magnetic properties, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, due to aligned magnetic moments within the material.
  • Magnetic Susceptibility ((\chi)): A measure of how much a material becomes magnetized in response to an applied magnetic field; positive for paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials, negative for diamagnetic materials.
  • Ferromagnetism: A strong form of magnetism where magnetic moments of atoms align parallel within regions called domains, resulting in permanent magnetization.
  • Paramagnetism: A weak attraction to magnetic fields caused by unpaired electrons in atoms; alignment occurs only in the presence of an external magnetic field.
  • Diamagnetism: A weak repulsion from magnetic fields due to induced magnetic moments opposing the applied field; present in all materials but usually weak.
  • Magnetic Domains: Small regions within ferromagnetic materials where magnetic moments are uniformly aligned; domain alignment determines the overall magnetic state.
