The effect in iron is much stronger than in nickel or cobalt. Compared to paramagnetism and diamagnetism, ferrormagnetism is several of orders of magnitude stronger. Ferromagnetic materials are also able to retain magnetization outside of an external current or magnetic field. This is because iron and other ferromagnetic materials naturally form &quot;magnetic domains,&quot; where a large group of atoms (in the billions) naturally align to each other to create an area with a net magnetic field. There are millions of these magnetic domains, and their magnetic moments are randomly aligned so that your average piece of iron is magnetically neutral. Otherwise any old piece of iron would be an incredibly strong magnet. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the domain boundaries shift, such that domains with magnetic fields in the same direction as the external field grow and gain more atoms from neighboring domains that weren&#039;t aligned with the field. This boundary shift is caused by the realignment of atoms on the domain boundaries to try to line up with the external field. The strength of the external field determines the extent of this reordering and thus the strength of the ferromagnetic reaction. One interesting characteristic of ferromagnetism is that when a ferromagnetic material is heated to a certain point, the domain boundaries cease to exist and the atoms align randomly as they have too much energy to remain in the domains. As a result of the random alignment of atoms, all ferromagnetic effects cease above this temperature. The temperature where this occurs is called the Curie temperature. This effect can be exploited to create strong magnets by heating a ferromagnetic material to above this temperature and then cooling it in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The external field will ensure that a majority of the domains that form will be aligned with this field, giving the material a permanent net magnetization.

At the saturation point, lowering the magnetic flux intensity decreases B, and it decreases faster as it approaching zero magnetic flux.

When the magnetic flux intensity is turned off after experiencing saturation in the negative domain, the ferromagnetic material will return to a retentivity value, the zero intersection on the B axis. Applying more positive magnetic flux intensity causes the material to approach positive saturation again, but instead of the zero density related to zero intensity, crossing at the origin, as the demagnetized material did, it requires more energy to drive the material to zero density and the curve will cross at a higher value of intensity axis. Changing the negative and positive magnetic flux intensity applied to the ferromagnetic material can result in loss of its magnetic density or energy.  The area within the curve relates to the amount of energy needed to change the behavior of the magnet. Permanent magnets have large, square-like hysteresis curves because it is requires a lot of energy to demagnetize the material. On the other hand, a transformer magnetic properties can be easily changed and its hysteresis curves has little area. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
