    Question

    In ferromagnetic material what is the size of typical domain and how many numbers of atoms individual domain contain?

    A.

    1–2 mm, about 10¹¹ atoms

    B.

    1–2 mm, about 10¹³ atoms

    C.

    1 mm, about 10¹⁵ atoms

    D.

    1 mm, about 10¹³ atoms

    Correct option is B

    Correct Answer: (b) 1–2 mm, about 10¹³ atoms
    Explanation:
    · A typical ferromagnetic domain has a size of about 1–2 mm, and each domain contains roughly 10¹³ atoms whose magnetic moments align in the same direction.
    · This collective alignment gives ferromagnetic materials their strong magnetic properties.
    Information Booster:
    · Ferromagnetic domains form to minimize the internal energy of the material.
    · When an external magnetic field is applied:
    · Domains aligned parallel to the field grow larger,
    · Oppositely oriented domains shrink,
    · Causing the material to become strongly magnetised.
    · Domain walls are thin boundaries where atomic magnetic moments gradually shift orientation.
