Do ferromagnetic materials have greater magnetic moments than ferrimagnetic
Accepted Answer
Ferromagnetic materials generally have larger net magnetic moments than ferrimagnetic materials. This is because in ferromagnets, all the magnetic moments of the atoms align in the same direction, leading to a strong overall magnetization. In ferrimagnets, the magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned in opposite directions, but there's an imbalance, resulting in a weaker net magnetization. This imbalance arises from different magnitudes of the magnetic moments of the constituent ions.
