Question
Explain the following with suitable examples:
Ferrimagnetism
Advertisements
Solution
- The substances in which the magnetic moments of the domains are aligned in parallel and anti-parallel directions, in unequal numbers, are said to have ferrimagnetism.
- Examples include Fe3O4 (magnetite), ferrites such as MgFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4.
- Ferrimagnetic substances are weakly attracted by a magnetic field as compared to ferromagnetic substances. On heating, these substances become paramagnetic.
