Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Do ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic materials have greater magnetic moments
Accepted Answer
Ferrimagnetic materials generally have greater magnetic moments than ferromagnetic materials. This is because in ferrimagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of the different ions within the material are antiparallel but unequal in magnitude, leading to a net magnetic moment. In ferromagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of all ions are aligned in the same direction, but the individual moments can be smaller than in ferrimagnetic materials.
