Question

The magnetic properties of matter can be categorized according to three types: diamagnetic, ferromagnetic, and paramagnetic materials. For each property shown below, categorize it according to one of these three types Diamagnetic Ferromagnetic Paramagnetic Contains magnetic domains Strongly attracted to magnetic fields Retains magnetic properties for long periods Weakly negative magnetic susceptibility Examples include iron and cobalt Examples include magnesium and lithium Slightly attracted to magnetic fields Slightly repelled by magnetic fields Strongly positive magnetic susceptibilty Includes most elements Weakly positive magnetic susceptibility

Explanation / Answer

Paramagnet:

Slightly attracted to magnetic field

Weakly positive magnetic susceptibility

MAgnesium and lithium

Diamagnetic Substance:

Weakly negative magnetic susceptibility

Slightly repelled by magnetic fields

Includes most of the elements

Ferromagnetic :

Strongly positive magnetic susceptibility

Iron,cobalt

Strongly attracted to magnetic fields

Retains magnetic properties for long period

Contains magnetic domains
