Magnetic Properties of Materials
Why some materials are strongly attracted to magnets, and others are not.
Types of Magnetic Materials
| Type | Behaviour | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Diamagnetic | Weakly repelled by a magnetic field | Bismuth, Water |
| Paramagnetic | Weakly attracted to a magnetic field | Aluminium, Sodium |
| Ferromagnetic | Strongly attracted; can retain magnetism | Iron, Cobalt, Nickel |
