• Materials may be classified by their
Magnetic response to externally applied magnetic
fields as:
Properties • Diamagnetic
from • Paramagnetic
Molecules to • Ferromagnetic
Solids • Antiferromagnetic
• Ferrimagnetic
Who discovered the magnetic
properties?
• An understanding of the relationship
between electricity and magnetism began
in 1819 with work by Hans Christian
Ørsted, a professor at the University of
Copenhagen, who discovered by the
accidental twitching of a compass needle
near a wire that an electric current could
create a magnetic field.
MAGNETISM
Magnetism is one aspect
of the
combined electromagnetic
force. It refers to physical
phenomena arising from
the force caused by
magnets, objects that
produce fields that attract
or repel other objects.
Why magnets
exist?
• Magnetism is the force
exerted by
magnets when they
attract or repel each
other.
Magnetism is caused
by the motion of
electric charges. Every
substance is made up
of tiny units called
atoms. Each atom has
electrons, particles that
carry electric charges.
Basic Concepts
MAGNETIC DIPOLES
• A magnetic dipole is the
limit of either a closed loop
of electric current or a pair
of poles as the size of the
source is reduced to zero
while keeping the
magnetic moment
constant.
Magnetic Field Strength
• Magnetic field strength is one of two ways that the intensity of
a magnetic field can be expressed. ... The field
strength corresponds to the density of the field lines. The total
number of magnetic field lines penetrating an area is called
the magnetic flux. The unit of the magnetic flux is the tesla
meter squared (T).
Magnetic Field
Strength
• Factors that
can affect a magnet'
s strength include:
Heat. Radiation.
Strong electrical
currents in close
proximity to
the magnet.
Magnetic Flux
Density
• Magnetic flux
density is defined as
the amount
of magnetic flux in
an area taken
perpendicular to
the magnetic
flux's direction. An
example of magnetic
flux density is a
measurement taken
in teslas.
DIAMAGNETISM AND PARAMAGNETISM
• HUND’S RULE – states that electrons must occupy every orbital singly before any
orbital is doubly occupied.
DIAMAGNETISM
• Pauli’s Exclusion Principle – states that electrons filling the same orbital must
have different spins because no two electrons can have the exact same quantum
number. This causes the magnetic fields of the electrons to cancel out; thus there
is no net magnetic moment, and the atom cannot be attracted into a magnetic
field. These electrons are called diamagnetic electrons, and an atom containing
on diamagnetic electrons is called diamagnetic atom.
DIAMAGNETISM AND PARAMAGNETISM
Diamagnetic atoms are not Diamagnetism is a very weak form of magnetism that
attracted to magnetic fields is nonpermanent and persists only while an external
field is being applied and is induced by a change in the

field.
DIAMAGNETISM AND
PARAMAGNETISM
• Diamagnetic Materials – materials which are
feebly repelled by a magnet. When placed
between the poles of a strong electromagnet,
diamagnetic materials are attracted toward
regions where the field is weak. When placed in
a magnetic field, the lines of magnetic force tend
to avoid the substance. Diamagnetism is found in
all materials; but because it is so weak, it can be
observed only when other types of magnetism
