Cause of ferromagnetism
Mar 21st
The phenomenon of ferromagnetism arises due to both the interaction between the neighbouring atomic dipoles and the alignment of the permanent dipoles in atoms that result from unpaired electrons in the outer shells. The ferromagnetic materials such as iron, cobalt have a specific electronic structure such that their outermost shell contains electrons even though the inner shell next to the outermost is still unfilled. Due to this electronic structure the spin magnetic moments of ferromagnetic materials become drastically large, resulting large atomic dipole moments.

Ferromagnetic materials are those which are strongly magnetized even in the absence of external magnetic field.
Examples of ferromagnetic materials are:
Iron, nickel, cobalt, gadolinium and their alloys

Ferromagnetic materials
Mar 20th
Ferromagnetic materials are those magnetic materials which are strongly magnetized even in the absence of external magnetic field.
In other words, there are certain materials whose permanent atomic dipoles have a strong tendency to align themselves in the direction of the field. This property of the material is called ferromagnetism and the materials which exhibit this property are called ferromagnetic materials.
Example: Iron, nickel, cobalt
