What type of substances would make better permanent magnets, ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ferromagnetic substances make better permanent magnets. This is because when placed in magnetic field. Their domains get oriented in the directions of magnetic field and a strong magnetic field is produced. This ordering of domains persists even when external magnetic field is removed Hence, the ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanent magnet.
