Ferromagnetic subtances make permanent magnets. Give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When ferromagnetic subtances ( like Fe, Co, Ni and ` CrO_(2))` are placed in a magnetic field, all the domains get oriented in the direction of the magnetic field. As a result, the subtance has high magnetic moment. The ordering of domains remains even when the external magnetic field is removed. Hence, the substance remains permanently magnetised.
