For which of the following materials the net magnetic moment should be zero ?
Correct answer: C. Antiferromagnetic materials
- A. Diamagnetic materials
- B. Ferrimagnetic materials
- C. Antiferromagnetic materials
- D. Antiferrimagnetic materials
Explanation
In an antiferromagnetic material, neighboring atomic magnetic moments are equal and oppositely aligned, so they cancel and produce zero net magnetic moment. Ferrimagnetic moments are also opposed but unequal, leaving a net moment.
