Do ferromagnetic materials have greater magnetic moments that ferrimegnetic materials
Accepted Answer
Ferromagnetic materials generally have larger magnetic moments than ferrimagnetic materials. This is because in ferromagnets, all the magnetic moments of individual atoms align parallel to each other, resulting in a strong net magnetization. In ferrimagnets, the magnetic moments of different atoms align in opposite directions, leading to a weaker overall magnetization.
