29: Ferromagnetic Materials
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Learning Objectives
On completion of this TLP you should:
- Understand ferromagnetism as a type of magnetism and some of the reasons an element is ferromagnetic
- Be aware that magnetism is affected by temperature
- Understand the factors contributing to the formation of magnetic domains
- Know why hysteresis occurs, and the factors which affect it
Before you start
Most of this package does not assume any previous understanding of ferromagnetism. However a brief understanding of atomic and electronic structure in elements may aid some explanations. However it is not necessary!
