Definition: Ferromagnetic Substances

Substances which when placed in a magnetising field are strongly magnetised in the direction of the magnetising field are called ferromagnetic substances.

Key Points: Ferromagnetism

  • Relative permeability ranges:   μr ≫ 1, of the order of 102; μ ≫ μ0
  • Diamagnetic: B ≫ B0​; Bm ≫ B0
  • Magnetic susceptibility (χ): positive and high, χ ≈ 102; very large, positive, temperature dependent, χm ∝ \[\frac {1}{T−T_C}\]​ (Curie–Weiss law)
  • Magnetic moment: very high
  • Intensity of magnetisation (I) vs H: I is very large, positive, varies non-linearly with H (I is in the direction of H, value of I is very high)

Law: Curie–Weiss Law (Ferromagnetic substances)

For ferromagnetic substances above the Curie temperature, the magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to (T − TC), where TC is the Curie temperature. Mathematically,

χm ∝ \[\frac {1}{T−T_C}\]

On heating beyond the Curie temperature (TC(iron) = 770 °C), ferromagnetic substances get converted into paramagnetic materials.
