    Effect of material size on magnetization

    I'm a bit confused about the effect of the size of ferromagnetic material on the magnetic field it generates so I was hoping someone could explain it to me. The saturation magnetization is given by M = \frac{N}{V}*μ but this suggests that the magnetization is independant of the size of...
