Glossary

Collection of each of the keyword which you have read in the notes with their definitions.

A

Acceleration

The rate of change of velocity of a moving object is called as acceleration. Its unit is $m/s^2$.

C

Curie temperature

The temperature at which the ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material loses its strong magnetic properties and its phase is change to paramagnetic phase is called Curie temperature.

D

Diamagnetism

The weak and negative response of a material to an external magnetic field is termed as diamagnetism.

E

Electromagnetism

It is the branch of physics that studies the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

F

Ferromagnetic

A ferromagnetic materials is one that can become a strong permanent magnet.

M

Magnetism

It is the property of materials to attract or repel each other because of the motion and alignment of electrons.

P

Paramagnetism

It is the weak, positive magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field, due to the presence of unpaired electrons.
