Class 12 Physics simulations · Magnetism and Matter

How magnetic materials respond

Compare induced dipoles in diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic matter.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Diamagnets oppose the applied field; paramagnets align weakly, while ferromagnets can align strongly.

Key relation

B = μ₀(H + M)

Try this

Compare the three materials at the same applied field.

What you can change

• Material response: choose Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic, Ferromagnetic
• Applied field H: 500 to 3000 A/m
