Difference between diamagnetic paramagnetic and ferromagnetic
Answers
Answer:
Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which certain materials (such as iron) form permanent magnets, or are attracted to magnets
Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force.
Paramagnetic compounds (and atoms) are attracted to magnetic fields while diamagnetic compounds (and atoms) are repelled from magnetic fields. Paramagnetic compounds have unpaired electrons while in diamagnetic compounds the electrons all have paired spins
The key difference between diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials is that diamagnetic materials are not attracted to an external magnetic field, and paramagnetic materials are attracted to an external magnetic field whereas ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to an external magnetic field.
