What type of substances would make better permanent magnets, ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetics. Justify your answer.

Answer»

Ferromagnetic substances make better permanent magnets because . metal ions of a ferromagnetic substance are grouped into a small region called ‘domains’. Each domain behaves like a small magnet. Here the domains are arranged randomly. When the substance is placed in magnetic field then these domains are oriented in the direction of magnetic field. As a result strong magnetic field is produced. The arragement of domains persists even in the absence of magnetic field. Hence, the ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanent magnet.
