FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL

  • The elements lie in d-block or f-block of periodic table and they have large number of unpaired electron which contribute to spin dipole moment so they have large dipole moment and are strongly magnetized.
  • Example:- Fe, Co, Ni, Gd, Dy
  • Since ferromagnetic material is a strongly magnetized the magnetic field line converge when they passed through ferromagnetic material.
  • When magnetic field is removed the dipoles remain align inside the material giving rise to residual flux density.

Residual flux density (Br)

  • Virginal curve is the magnetization curve of freshly prepared material.
  • Coercive force (Hc) :- It is the value magnetic fields that needs to be applied to make flux density zero.

Domain theory

  • An iron piece normally does not exhibit magnetism unless it is magnetized which means net dipole moment in absence of magnetic field should be zero but ferromagnetic material must have residual magnetism and to explain this discrepancy we study domain theory.
  • After removal of magnetic field the dipole inside each domain remain aligned. But the domain are not aligned with each other.

Magnetostriction

  • It is the phenomenon in which dimension of a ferromagnetic material changes when magnetic field is applied.
  • If alternating magnetic field is applied then material expands and compresses in alternate half cycle by which mechanical vibrations are produced which are observed as a humming sound in a transformer.
  • To damp out mechanical vibration transformer should be mounted on mud/ soil or a rubber mat.

  1. An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a colleague who was conducting a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me breakfast due to the fact that I discovered it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this issue here on your website.

  2. This is an incredible project. I really value your work! So accurate and also professional. Thanks so much for your hard work. There was a minor mistake, however total I was satisfied. There was a small blunder, however overall I was pleased. Many thanks a whole lot!

  3. Thanks for a marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it, you may be a great author.I will make sure to bookmark your blog and definitely will come back sometime soon. I want to encourage you continue your great writing, have a nice morning!

  4. I’m not sure where you’re getting your info, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more.
    Thanks for excellent information I was looking for this information for my mission.

  5. Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
    I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
    Many thanks

  6. You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I to find this matter to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely wide for me. I’m having a look ahead in your subsequent put up, I will attempt to get the hold of it!
