Magnetic Material Types and differences between diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.

In this article we will talk about magnetic materials. Magnetic Materials are those materials, those if we put in magnetic field, they will be magnetised easily.

Types of Magnetic Material and differences

Mainly there are three types of magnetic materials:

1) Diamagnetic Materials

2) Paramagnetic Materials

3) Ferromagnetic Materials

This article will tell you that what are the key differences in these three materials.

1) Diamagnetic Material

a) If a diamagnetic material will near to any magnetic material, it will weakly repelled by that magnet. It means it shows some weak repulsion.

b) If we put a diamagnetic material in any magnetic field, it will weakly magnetised but in opposite direction. Its value is negative and small due to weak nature.

c) If we put a diamagnetic material in a magnetic field, the magnetic field lines will start move away from material. That material repel those field lines from its centre.

d) If we put a diamagnetic material in a Non-Uniform magnetic field, it will move from strong field towards weak field. Because It is repelled by that field region.

e) If we remove external magnetic field from diamagnetic material, then it will loose its magnetism. It does not have unpaired electrons.

f) Diamagnetic materials can be solid, liquid and gases as well. Examples: Water, copper, Mercury, gold, hydrogen etc..

2) Paramagnetic Material

a) If a paramagnetic material will near to any magnetic material, it will weakly attracted by that magnet. It means it shows some weak attraction.

b) If we put a paramagnetic material in any magnetic field, it will weakly magnetised in same direction. Its value is positive and small due to weak nature.

c) If we put a paramagnetic material in a magnetic field, the magnetic field lines will start closer to material. That material attract those field lines from its centre.

d) If we put a paramagnetic material in a Non-Uniform magnetic field, it will move from weak field towards strong field. Because It is attracted by that field region.

e) If we remove external magnetic field from paramagnetic material, then it can loose its magnetism. But It has unpaired electrons.

f) Paramagnetic materials can be solid, liquid and gases as well. Examples: Aluminum, Platinum, Sodium, Crown glass etc..

3) Ferromagnetic Material

a) If a ferromagnetic material will near to any magnetic material, it will strongly attracted by that magnet. It means it shows strong attraction.

b) If we put a ferromagnetic material in any magnetic field, it will strongly magnetised in the same direction. Its value is positive and large due to strong nature.

c) If we put a paramagnetic material in a magnetic field, the magnetic field lines will start strongly closer to material. That material strongly attract those field lines from its centre.

d) If we put a ferromagnetic material in a Non-Uniform magnetic field, it will move from weak field towards strong field. Because It is strongly attracted by that field region.

e) If we remove external magnetic field from ferromagnetic material, They do not lose their magnetism. Because it is permanent Magnet. It also has unpaired electrons.

f) Ferromagnetic materials are only solid. Examples: Iron, nickel and cobalt.
