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!
