  1. Paramagnetism - Wikipedia

    Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby some materials are weakly attracted by an externally applied magnetic field, and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of …

  2. Paramagnetic vs Diamagnetic vs Ferromagnetic - Magnetism

    Oct 19, 2022 · A compound that has unpaired electrons is paramagnetic, while one with no unpaired electrons is diamagnetic. Ammonia (NH 3) is an example of a diamagnetic compound.

  3. Paramagnetism | Magnetic Moment, Ferromagnetism

    paramagnetism, kind of magnetism characteristic of materials weakly attracted by a strong magnet, named and extensively investigated by the British scientist Michael Faraday …

  4. Paramagnetic Materials - GeeksforGeeks

    Jul 23, 2025 · Paramagnetic Materials are materials that get weakly magnetized in the direction of the external magnetic field when placed in a magnetic field. They have a permanent Dipole …

  5. Paramagnetism Definition and Examples - ThoughtCo

    Jun 10, 2025 · Paramagnetism results from the presence of least one unpaired electron spin in a material's atoms or molecules. In other words, any material that possesses atoms with …

  6. Paramagnetism: Definition and Examples - Science Facts

    Sep 29, 2023 · Paramagnetism is caused by the presence of unpaired electrons in the atomic or molecular orbitals of a material. When materials have unpaired electrons, these electrons …

  7. PARAMAGNETIC Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    The meaning of PARAMAGNETIC is being or relating to a magnetizable substance (such as aluminum) that has small but positive susceptibility which varies little with magnetizing force.

  8. Paramagnetism: Definition, Laws & Key Concepts Explained

    Paramagnetic materials have unpaired electrons and are weakly attracted to magnetic fields. In contrast, diamagnetic materials have only paired electrons and are weakly repelled by …

  9. Paramagnetism Definition - Principles of Physics II Key Term

    Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism that occurs in materials with unpaired electrons, resulting in a weak attraction to an external magnetic field.

  10. 12.5: Paramagnetism - Physics LibreTexts

    Some atoms or molecules, however, do have a permanent magnetic moment, and such materials are paramagnetic. They must still be diamagnetic, but often the paramagnetism will outweigh …
