🔹 Basic Introduction (Topic ka base samjho pehle)
Magnetic materials wo hote hain jo magnetic field ke effect me aakar magnetize ho jaate hain. Jab kisi material par magnetic field H lagate hain aur uske andar flux density B produce hoti hai, to dono ke beech jo relation hota hai use B–H characteristics kehte hain.
Different materials ka magnetic behaviour alag-alag hota hai, isliye unko 5 main types me divide kiya gaya hai:
- Diamagnetic
- Paramagnetic
- Ferromagnetic
- Antiferromagnetic
- Ferrimagnetic
1️⃣ Diamagnetic Materials
Definition: Wo materials jo magnetic field ko weakly repel karte hain.
- Magnetization opposite direction me hoti hai
- Magnetic susceptibility (χ) → negative
- Relative permeability (μr) < 1
- Weakest magnetic behaviour
Examples: Bismuth, Copper, Silver, Gold
2️⃣ Paramagnetic Materials
Definition: Wo materials jo magnetic field ko weakly attract karte hain.
- Magnetization same direction me hoti hai
- χ → small positive
- μr > 1 (but very close to 1)
- Field hatate hi magnetism khatam
Examples: Aluminium, Platinum, Chromium
3️⃣ Ferromagnetic Materials
Definition: Wo materials jo magnetic field me strongly magnetize ho jaate hain aur magnetism retain bhi karte hain.
- Very high χ and μr
- Domains align ho jaate hain
- Permanent magnet ban sakte hain
- Hysteresis loss hota hai
Examples: Iron, Cobalt, Nickel
4️⃣ Antiferromagnetic Materials
Definition: Isme adjacent atomic moments equal aur opposite direction me hote hain.
- Net magnetization ≈ zero
- Weak magnetic behaviour
- High temperature par paramagnetic ban jaate hain
Examples: Manganese oxide (MnO), Nickel oxide (NiO)
5️⃣ Ferrimagnetic Materials
Definition: Isme atomic moments opposite direction me hote hain but equal nahi hote.
- Net magnetization ≠ zero
- Ferromagnetic jaisa behaviour
- High resistivity → transformer cores me use
Examples: Ferrites (Fe₃O₄)
🔹 B–H Curve for Ferromagnetic Material
Ferromagnetic materials me jab H increase karte hain to B bhi increase hoti hai, but path linear nahi hota. Field ko zero karne par bhi B zero nahi hoti — isse hysteresis kehte hain.

Important Terms on B–H Curve
Retentivity (Br): Jab H = 0 kar dete hain, tab bhi jo B bachi rehti hai use retentivity kehte hain. 👉 Material ki magnetism retain karne ki ability
Coercive Field (Hc): Wo reverse magnetic field jo B ko zero karne ke liye chahiye hoti hai. 👉 Demagnetize karne ki ability
- Vertical intercept → Retentivity (Br)
- Horizontal intercept → Coercive Field (Hc)
🔹 Exam Me Likhnay Layak 2–3 Formula
- B = μ H
- μ = μ₀ μr
- χ = μr − 1
🔹 Quick Summary Points
- Diamagnetic → weakly repel, χ negative
- Paramagnetic → weakly attract, χ positive
- Ferromagnetic → strongly attract, retain magnetism
- Antiferromagnetic → moments cancel, net ≈ 0
- Ferrimagnetic → unequal opposite moments, net ≠ 0
- Retentivity → remaining magnetism
- Coercive field → demagnetizing field
- B–H curve shows hysteresis
