Magnetization in a magnetic material is caused by the alignment of the individual magnetic dipoles within the material. These dipoles are tiny, atomic-scale magnets that align in a specific direction when exposed to a magnetic field.
The strength of magnetization is measured using a unit called magnetic moment, which is typically represented by the symbol "M." This unit is measured in amperes per meter (A/m) or in the older unit of cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system, gauss (G). The higher the magnetic moment, the stronger the magnetization.
No, a non-magnetic material cannot be magnetized because it lacks magnetic dipoles that can align in a specific direction. Only materials with magnetic properties, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, can be magnetized.
Several factors can affect the magnetization of a material, including the strength of the applied magnetic field, the temperature of the material, and the composition and structure of the material. Additionally, the presence of impurities or defects in the material can also affect its magnetization.
Magnetization has many practical applications in everyday life, such as in the production of electric motors, generators, and speakers. It is also used in medical imaging, data storage, and navigation systems. In addition, magnetized materials are commonly used in household items like refrigerator magnets and magnetic toys.
