COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS
Comparative study of paramagnetic, diamagnetic, and ferromagnetic materials.
Sl. No Properties Paramagnetic materials Diamagnetic materials Ferromagnetic materials
1. Effects of They are weakly attracted They are weakly repelled They are strongly attracted magnets towards the magnets by the magnets towards the magnets 2. In an external Acquire weak Acquire weak Acquire strong magnetic field magnetization in the magnetization in the magnetization in the direction of the applied opposite direction of the direction of the applied magnetic field applied magnetic field magnetic field 3. In a non- Slowly moves from the Slowly moves from the Quickly moves from the uniform weaker part to the stronger stronger part to the weaker part to the stronger magnetic field part of the magnetic field weaker part of the part of the magnetic field magnetic field 4. In a uniform A freely suspended A freely suspended A freely suspended magnetic field paramagnetic rod aligns diamagnetic rod aligns ferromagnetic rod aligns itself parallel to the applied itself perpendicular to the itself parallel to the applied magnetic field applied magnetic field magnetic field 5. Susceptibility Susceptibility value is small Susceptibility value is small Susceptibility value is large value (χm) and positive i.e 0<χm<ϵ and negative i.e −1≤χm<0 and positive i.e χm>1000 where ϵ is a small number 6. Relative Slightly greater than 1, i.e Slightly greater than 1, i.e Of the order of thousands i.e permeability 1<μr<1+ϵ 0≤μr<1 μr>1000 (μr) 7. Permeability μ>μ0 μ<μ0 μ>>>μ0 value (μ) 8. Susceptibility decrease with Effects of Susceptibility varies inversely Susceptibility is independent the temperature in a complex temperature with temperature. of temperature. manner 9. Removal of the Magnetization persists even Magnetization lost as soon as Magnetization last as long as magnetizing after magnetizing field magnetizing field removed magnetizing field applied field removed 10. M changes linearly with H and M changes non-linearly with Variation of M attains saturation level at low- M changes linearly with H H and ultimately attains with H temperature in a strong field. saturation level 11. Hysteresis B-vector shows no B-vector shows no B-vector shows hysteresis effects hysteresis hysteresis 12. Physical state Solid, liquid, or gas Solid, liquid, or gas Generally solid only 13.
