Question
A material that exhibits strong magnetism due to the growth and alignment of microscopic domains when
placed in an external field is:
Explanation
**Magnetization M** is magnetic moment per unit volume (A/m), magnetic intensity H = B/μ₀ - M, susceptibility χ = M/H dimensionless, permeability μ = B/H = μ₀(1+χ), relative permeability μ_r = μ/μ₀ = 1+χ. For solenoid with core, B = μ₀ μ_r n I, n turns per meter (m⁻¹), I current (A). Ferromagnetic materials have microscopic domains that align and grow in the presence of an external magnetic field, leading to strong magnetization. This cooperative behavior amplifies the field inside the material significantly. Substituting values gives Ferromagnetic, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
