Magnetic materials are classified into two categories based on existence of dipole moment and the response of magnetic material to external magnetic fields.
MAGNETIC
MATERIALS Classification
Magnetic
materials are classified into two categories based on existence of dipole
moment and the response of magnetic material to external magnetic fields
namely,
(i)
Diamagnetic materials - no permanent
magnetic moment.
(ii)
Paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials - having
permanent maitonmagnetic moment. Nonemonada
Generally,
diamagnetic and paramagnetic materials are known as non-magnetic materials, due
to poor response to an external magnetic field.
The
ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials are known as
magnetic materials. These materials strongly respond to an external magnetic
field.
