2. FERROMAGNETIC DOMAINS
Why only small group of elements and compounds exhibits ferromagnetism
Hypothesis of Weiss
Exchange coupling & domains
Size of domain
Example of how total magnetization can be zero in single crystals and
polycrystals
Possible ways by which the material is magnetized to saturation in the
direction of field 2
3. A typical magnetization curve
Sequence of domain arrangement with
increasing magnetic field
4. Different types of hysteresis loops
Control over the Coercive Force Hc
Material used for transformer core
Now, refined techniques are available
