10 Differences b/w paramagnetic Diamagnetic & ferromagnetic
State | They are solid. | They can be solid, liquid or gas. | They can be solid, liquid or gas. |
Effect of Magnet | Strongly attracted by a magnet. | Weakly attracted by a magnet. | Weakly repelled by a magnet. |
Behavior under non-uniform field | tend to move from low to high field region. | tend to move from low to high field region. | tend to move from high to low region. |
Behavior under external field | They preserve the magnetic properties after the external field is removed. | They do not preserve the magnetic properties once the external field is removed. | They do not preserve the magnetic properties once the external field is removed. |
Effect of Temperature | Above curie point, it becomes a paramagnetic. | With the rise of temperature, it becomes a diamagnetic. | No effect. |
Permeability | Very high | Little greater than unity | Little less than unity |
Susceptibility | Very high and positive | Little greater than unity and positive | Little less than unity and negative |
Examples | Iron, Nickel, Cobalt | Lithium, Tantalum, Magnesium | Copper, Silver, Gold |
