What aspect of magnetism did Bloch's research cover?
Diamagnetism
Electromagnetism
Ferromagnetism
Paramagnetism
Answer
Ferromagnetism, a form of magnetism where materials exhibit permanent magnetic moments due to the alignment of their magnetic domains, was the primary area of research for Felix Bloch. His significant contributions to the understanding of ferromagnetism included developing a theory of magnetic domains and explaining the hysteresis curve, the loop formed when plotting the magnetization of a material against the applied magnetic field strength.
