Overview
Magnetic properties of materials are essential in understanding how different substances interact with magnetic fields. These properties can be classified into three main categories: ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic. Ferromagnetic materials, like iron, can be permanently magnetized, whil...
