In this new series, objects and examples from everyday life show real-world applications of scientific principles. These principles are investigated through the scientific process: form a hypothesis, design an experiment, conduct the experiment, and draw conclusions. There are also demonstrations and ...
Ferromagnetism is one of the strongest forms of magnetism. It is responsible for most of the magnetic behavior encountered in everyday life. Most permanent magnets are ferromagnetic, as are the metals that are attracted to them. Some examples of ferromagnetic materials include iron, cobalt, nickel,...
in atoms and molecules with an odd number of electrons, since the net magnetic moment cannot be zero. Examples of materials showing paramagnetic properties areTungsten,Aluminumand Magnesium. They have a positive magnetic susceptibility namely, once anexternal magnetic fieldis applied, an internal magnet...
electric and magnetic fields travel together through space as waves ofelectromagnetic radiation, with the changing fields mutually sustaining each other. Examples of electromagnetic waves traveling through space independent of matter areradioand television waves,microwaves,infrared rays, visiblelight,ultraviolet...
