Classification of engineering materials, and their properties. When a bar of paramagnetic material is placed in a magnetic field the lines of force tend to accumulate in it. Iron, nickle, and cobalt are some examples of ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which certain materials such as iron form permanent magnets, or are attracted to magnets. The spinning electrons in the material behave like tiny magnets. Magnets are objects that generate a magnetic field, a forcefield that either pulls or repels certain materials, such as nickel and iron, but what are magnets made of and what are the different types of magnets. Ferrites are regarded as better magnetic materials than pure metals because of their high resistivity, lower cost, easier manufacture and superior magnetization properties. Dielectric materials are electrically nonconducting materials such as glass, ebonite, mica, rubber, wood and paper. In this physics video lecture in hindi we discussed about magnet, its properties and the reason behind magnetism. More specifically the magnetism and magnetization of a solid will depend on the movement of electrons in an atom. Where specifications appear, their latest date of issue should apply.
