Explain the following terms with suitable examples : Ferromagnetism and Ferrimagnetism.

Answer»

Solution :Ferromagnetism : (i) Substance which are ATTRACTED most easily in magnetic field is called Ferromagnetic substance.
(ii) Examples : Fe, Co, Ni, `CrO_(2)` and aluaco (alloy of Co, Fe and Cu).
Ferrimagnetism : (i) A substance which is weakly attracted by the magnetic field is called ferrimagnetic substanes.
(ii) Examples : `Fe_(3) O_(4)`, ferrites having the formula `M^(2+) Fe_(2) O_(4)`. (where `M^(2+) = Cu^(2+) or Zn^(2+)`).
(III) In these SUBSTANCES the alignment of magneitc moment in opposite direction are not equal.
