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 magents. This is because the metal ions of a ferromagnetic substance are grouped into small regions called 'dmains'. Each domain acts as a tiny magnet. These domains are randomly oriented. when the substance is placed in a magnetic field, all the domings get oriented in the direaction of magnetic field and a strong magnetic field is produced . This ording of domains presists even when the external magnetic field si removed. Hence, the ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanment magnet.
