Answer:
What are diamagnetic , paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances .?
→ On the basis of magnetic properties , magnetic substances have been classified into three categories.
Given below,
1). Diamagnetic substances
2). Paramagnetic substances
3). Ferromagnetic substances
→ Diamagnetic substances are those in which the individual atoms
/molecules/ions do not possess any net magnetic moment of their own.
» For example- bismuth,antimony, copper, mercury, water, air, etc. are diamagnetic substances.
» When a diamagnetic substance is suspended in uniform magnetic field, it comes to rest with its longest axis perpendicular to magnetic field.
» The lines of force do not pass through diamagnetic substance. Hence the permeability of diamagnetic substance is always less than one but never negative.
→ Paramagnetic substances are those in which each individual atom/molecule/ion has a net non-zero magnetic moment of its own.
» For example, aluminium, platinum,
nickel, oxygen etc. are all paramagnetic substances.
» When a paramagnetic substance is suspended in uniform magnetic field, it comes to rest with its longest axis parallel to the field.
» When a paramagnetic substance is placed in a magnetic field, the lines of force do pass through paramagnetic Substance. Hence permeability of paramagnetic substance is always greater than one.
→ Ferromagnetic substances are those in which each individual (atom/molecule/ion) has a non-zero magnetic moment. Also the value of magnetic moment of fertemagnetic substance is larger than that of paramagnetic substance.
» The ferromagnetic materials exhibit the properties of paramagnetic substances to a much greater degree.
» For example, iron, nickel, cobalt etc. are ferromagnetic materials.
Hope it helped u.
Diamagnetism, para-magnetism and ferromagnetism. ... The material is Diamagnetic if the value of χ is small and negative, Paramagnetic if the value of χ is small and positive and Ferromagnetic if the value is large and positive.
