CLASSIFICATION BETWEEN DIA, PARA AND FERRO–MAGNETIC MATERIALS

 

Diamagnetic

Paramagnetic

Ferromagnetic

1.

Such substances are repelled weakly by a magnet

Such substances are weakly attracted by a magnet

Such substances are strongly attracted by a magnet

2.

Individual atoms or molecules have no net magnetic moment in the absence of H–field

Individual atoms or molecules have non–zero magnetic moments in the absence of H–field

Individual atoms or molecules have non–zero magnetic moments with ‘atomic magnets’ organized into domains in the absence of H–field.

3.

When placed in external magnetic field, then within the material, the resultant field is reduced and field lines are repelled by such materials

When placed in uniform external magnetic field, then within the material resultant field is enhanced and field lines concentrate.

When placed in external magnetic field, then within the material, field is strongly enhanced and filed lines are highly concentrated.

4.

When placed in a non–uniform external magnetic field, the substance tends to move from high to low field region

When placed in non–uniform external magnetic field, the para–magnetic substance tends to move from low to high field region

When placed in non–uniform external magnetic field, the substance has strong tendency to move from low to high field region.

5.

 is just less than one

 is just greater than one

 (~ 680 for iron)

6.

Susceptibility of dia-magnetic substance is negative

Susceptibility  of paramagnetic substances has small positive value .

Susceptibility for ferro–magnetic substances has large positive values  for iron).

7.

Susceptibility does not change with temperature and diamagnetics do not obey Curie law

 varies inversely with the increase of temperature and paramagnetic substances obey Curie law.

Susceptibility decreases with the increase in temperature and beyond Curie temperature, ferro–magnetic substances behave like paramagnetic substances.
