Modern physics basis for magnetic properties of matter

AI Thread Summary
Resources for understanding diamagnetism, paramagnetism, and ferromagnetism in atomic physics are sought, emphasizing simple explanations without complex mathematics. Key topics of interest include wave-particle duality, energy levels in solids, the conductivity of metals, and the relationship between magnetic moment and electron effective mass. The Curie Law is also mentioned as an important concept. The urgency of the inquiry is highlighted by an impending test. Accessible materials that clarify these concepts are requested.

Do you people know any decent and simple (no fancy math) material for the atomic physics around diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism?

Topics like wave-particle duality, energy levels, solids, why metals are conductors, relation between magnetic moment and effective mass of electrons, curie law and etc

I had just one class on these stuff and couldn't understand a thing

Test in six hours, hope you give me some help :}

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
