Which of the following material is not a ferromagnetic material?

Which of the following material is not a ferromagnetic material? Correct Answer Silver

CONCEPT:

  • Ferromagnetic: Materials that exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields are ferromagnetic materials.
    • They are able to retain their magnetic properties after the external field has been removed. 
    • These materials have a large, positive susceptibility to an external magnetic field.
  • Iron, nickel, and cobalt are examples of ferromagnetic materials.

EXPLANATION:

  • Iron, nickel, and cobalt are examples of ferromagnetic materials.
  • Silver is a diamagnetic material.
  • So the correct answer is option 2.

Additional Information

  • Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum.
  • Most elements in the periodic table like copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic.
