Question

Anti ferromagnetic material possess:-

• A. Low magnetic moment
• B. High Magnetic moment
• C. Zero magnetic moment
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Zero magnetic moment

In antiferromagnetic substances, the magnetic moments of atoms or molecules, (related to spins of electrons) align in a regular pattern pointing in opposite directions such that the total magnetic moment is zero.

The alignment of magnetic moments in opposite directions cancel out each other resulting in zero magnetic moment.
