When orientation of dipoles parallel and antiparallel to magnetic field is distributed unequally, then the material is
When orientation of dipoles parallel and antiparallel to magnetic field is distributed unequally, then the material is
The correct option is A Ferrimagnetic
Paramagnetic materials:
This class of materials, some of the atoms or ions in the material have a net magnetic moment due to unpaired electrons in partially filled orbitals. One of the most important atoms with unpaired electrons is iron. However, the individual magnetic moments do not interact magnetically, and like diamagnetism, the magnetization is zero when the field is removed.
Ferromagnetic materials:
Unlike paramagnetic materials, the atomic moments in these materials exhibit very strong interactions. These interactions are produced by electronic exchange forces and result in a parallel or antiparallel alignment of atomic moments.
Ferrimagnetic materials:
In ferrimagnets, the magnetic moments of the A and B sublattices are not equal and result in a net magnetic moment. Ferrimagnetism is therefore similar to ferromagnetism.
However, ferro- and ferrimagnets have very different magnetic ordering.
Antiferromagnetic materials:
If the A and B sublattice moments are exactly equal but opposite, the net moment is zero. This type of magnetic ordering is called antiferromagnetism.
