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.


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 susceptibility Includes most elements Weakly positive magnetic susceptibility

Explanation / Answer

Diamegnetic:

Weakly negative magnetic susceptibility

Slightly repelled by magnetic fields

Includes most elements

Ferromagnetic:

Strongly positive magnetic susceptibility

Contains magnetic domains

Strongly atracted to magnetic fields

Retains magnetic properties for long periods

Examples include Iron and Cobalt

Paramagnetic:

Examples include magnesium and lithium

Weakly positive magnetic susceptibility

Slightly attracted to magnetic fields.
