SUMMARY

Paramagnetic materials exhibit weak attraction to magnetic fields, while ferromagnetic materials demonstrate strong attraction and retain magnetization after the external field is removed. Key examples include aluminum as a paramagnetic material and iron as a ferromagnetic material. The differences in magnetic behavior are crucial for applications in magnetic storage and electronic devices.
