Study Notes
Diamagnetism
- Diamagnetic materials have no net magnetic dipole moment when not in an external magnetic field
- When placed in an external magnetic field, they experience a weak repulsive force
- Orbiting electrons create a current loop; an induced current opposes the change in magnetic field
- The induced magnetic moment opposes the external magnetic field
- This results in a weak repulsive force
- The effect is small and only noticeable in strong magnetic fields
Paramagnetism
- Materials with unpaired electrons have a net magnetic dipole moment
- In the absence of an external magnetic field, the magnetic moments are randomly oriented
- Application of an external field aligns the magnetic moments along the field, increasing the net magnetic moment
- The alignment is weak; removing the field results in random reorientation
- These materials are weakly attracted towards external magnetic fields
Ferromagnetism
- Materials with strong attraction to external magnetic fields
- Unpaired electrons have aligned magnetic moments
- Interactions between neighboring moments create strong, spontaneous magnetization
- Presence of magnetic domains
- Alignment of domains results in stronger magnetism
Induced Current in Current Loop
- When a current loop is placed in an external magnetic field, an induced current is produced
- The direction of the induced current is such that its magnetic field opposes the change in the external magnetic field (Lenz's Law)
- For one loop, the induced current aligns with the loop current, increasing the net magnetic moment
- For the other loop, induced current is opposite to loop current, reducing net magnetic moment
