Question

Write any four differences among diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substance.

Accepted Answer

Paramagnetism -

They can be solid, liquid or gas.

Every atom is a magnetic dipole having a resultant magnetic moment.

Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted by an external magnetic field.

Paramagnetic substances lose their magnetism on removal of the external magnetic field.

Diamagnetism-

They can be solid, liquid or gas.

The magnetic moment of every atom of diamagnetic substance/material is zero.

Diamagnetic materials/substances are weakly repelled by an external magnetic field.

Diamagnetic substances/material lose their magnetism on removal of the external magnetic field.

Ferromagnetism -

They are solid.

Ferromagnetic substances/material consists of many small domains. The atomic magnets in one domain are aligned in the same direction due to strong interaction.

Ferromagnetic material/substance are strongly attracted by external magnetic field.

Ferromagnetic material/substances do not lose magnetism when the external magnetic field is removed i.e they are permanent magnets.
