Do ferromagnetic materials have greater magnetic moments than ferrimagnetic materials
Accepted Answer
Ferrimagnetic materials have a greater net magnetic moment than ferromagnetic materials. This is because in ferrimagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of the constituent atoms are aligned anti-parallel to each other, but with unequal magnitudes, resulting in a net magnetic moment. In contrast, in ferromagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of the constituent atoms are aligned parallel to each other, resulting in a large net magnetic moment.
