Investigation of the magnetic properties of materials is very important, because magnetic phenomena have various scientific and technical applications. The macroscopic properties of matter are a manifestation of the microscopic properties of the atoms of which it is composed. The magnetic properties of materials may be very different for types of material, depending on their nature and structure. | GENERAL PHYSICS II Electromagnetism Thermal Physics 4 1 2008 1 Chapter XII Magnetic materials 1.
