Fairly simple question:
If a highly permeable material (of any shape) is placed in a uniform magnetic field, will the material's magnetization density always line up with the uniform magnetic field, or do I have to take into account the fields that are created as the material becomes magnetized?
The material is paramagnetic.
I've wasted so much time re-reading my E+M textbook to figure this out, but it never seems to tell us how to compute the magnetization created by magnetic fields. We're generally just given objects that are already magnetized.
