A

Substances which are weakly attracted by a magnet are called paramagnetic substances.

35
Q

What are atomic magnets?

A

In paramagnetic substance, the magnetic dipole moments of all the electrons do not cancel out resulting in some dipole moment for an atom so that each atom of a paramagnetic substance is equivalent to tiny magnetic dipole called atomic magnets.

36
Q

41
Q

What are ferromagnetic substances?

A

Substances which are strongly attracted by a magnet are known as ferromagnetic substances.

42

45
Q

Define domains

A

The region of a ferromagnetic substance on which all magnetic moments are aligned in the same direction are known as domains.

46
Q

Give reasons: all Magnetic dipoles have magnetic dipole moments in the same direction

A

Strong exchange coupling between neighboring atoms in domain.

47
Q

What is flipping or domain rotation?

A

When external applied magnetic field to a ferromagnetic substance is large, the dipole moments of non-alliance dipoles rotate in the direction of applied field. This process is known as flipping or domain rotation.

A

Yep

49
Q

A

Pg 252

50
Q

Define curie temperature

A

The temperature at which domain structure is destroyed and the ferromagnetic system looses its magnetism and above which a ferromagnetic substance is converted into a paramagnetic substance is called Curie Temperature.
