Magnetic Materials
Magnetic materials are substances that can be magnetized, meaning they can attract or repel other magnetic materials. These materials are classified into different types, such as ferromagnetic (like iron), paramagnetic, and diamagnetic. Ferromagnetic materials have strong magnetic properties and can retain magnetism even after an external magnetic field is removed.
The behavior of magnetic materials is essential in various applications, including electric motors, transformers, and magnetic storage devices like hard drives. Understanding how these materials work helps engineers design better technology, making our everyday devices more efficient and powerful.
