Explanation

**Ferromagnetism** shows large positive χ ≈ 10³ to 10⁵, strong attraction, domain structure with spontaneous magnetization, hysteresis, retentivity. Distinction based on sign and magnitude of χ and behaviour in non-uniform field, explaining attraction versus repulsion. Paramagnetic materials weakly enhance the magnetic field inside them because their atomic magnetic moments partially align with the external field, producing a small positive magnetization that adds to the applied field. Substituting values gives Weak alignment of atomic moments, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
