Term: Paramagnetism
Description:
Paramagnetism refers to the property of certain substances that are weakly attracted to an external magnetic field. It is characterized by the presence of unpaired electrons in an atom or molecule, which generate a magnetic moment. Unlike ferromagnetic materials, paramagnetic substances do not retain their magnetism once the external field is removed.
Sample Sentences:
- The paramagnetism of the iron particles caused them to align with the magnetic field.
- Scientists use various techniques to measure the level of paramagnetism in a material.
- The paramagnetic properties of the compound enabled it to be used in MRI contrast agents.
- Paramagnetism plays a crucial role in the study of magnetic materials and their behavior.
