8(b) Classification of Magnetic Materials (5 Marks Answer) Magnetic materials are classified based on how they respond to a magnetic field. They are mainly divided into three types . 1. Diamagnetic Materials Diamagnetic materials are substances that are weakly repelled by a magnetic field . Properties: Magnetic susceptibility is negative . Magnetic permeability is less than 1 . They move from strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field . Examples: Bismuth, Copper, Silver, Gold. 2. Paramagnetic Materials Paramagnetic materials are substances that are weakly attracted by a magnetic field . Properties: Magnetic susceptibility is small and positive . Magnetic permeability is slightly greater than 1 . They move from weak magnetic field to strong magnetic field . Examples: Aluminium, Platinum, Chromium. 3. Ferromagnetic Materials Ferromagnetic materials are substances that are strongly attracted by a magnetic field . Properti...
