Ferromagnetism

Question 1

What is ferromagnetism?

Answer 1

A unique magnetic behavior shown by select materials where the materials attain permanent magnetism after entering an external magnetic field. [Once a ferromagnet is attracted to another magnet, the ferromagnet gains the ability to be a permanent magnet]

Question 2

What is the magnetism of a ferromagnetic material doing before becoming magnetised? And how does it become magnetised?

Answer 2

Small regions [called domains] each have their own separate magnetic pulls pointing in various directions, canceling one another out. After entering an external magnetic field, the pull of these regions align, giving the material a unified direction of pull.

Question 3

What are Atomic Dipoles?

Answer 3

The name of a domain’s magnetic pull in ferromagnetic materials.

Question 4

What is the strongest type of magnetism?

Answer 4

Ferromagnetism

Question 5

What happens to a ferromagnetic substance when liquefied?

Answer 5

It looses it’s ferromagnetic properties [due to high temperature]

Question 6

How do you remove a ferromagnet’s magnetic field?

Answer 6

To bring the ferromagnet back to zero magnetization, a magnetic field will need to be applied in the opposite direction of the original one that gave it magnetism.

Question 7

How to you get a paramagnetic material?

Answer 7

When a ferromagnetic material gets to a high enough temperature. [this lower the magnetic pull of the material]
