What is the difference between the two and what are the applications of them in a magnetic material?

Presumably you have looked up the definitions of the terms ... the same sources should provide examples.
So what is the problem?

(note: sounds like the sort of question that gets asked for homework).
 
I have and the explanations of the two have confused me. To me they both sound like the samething. Can you give me a clear explanation of the two?
