A good permanent magnet can have a magnetization as large as a million amperes per meter.
An antiferromagnet has two networks of equal and opposite magnetic moments, which cancel each other out so that the net magnetization is zero.
Diamagnetics are defined by the generation of a spontaneous magnetization of a material which directly opposes the direction of an applied field.
By adding a " magnetic core " made of a ferromagnetic material like iron inside the coil, the magnetizing field from the coil will induce magnetization in the material, increasing the magnetic flux.
Ferromagnetic materials seeAlso The table on the right lists a selection of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic compounds, along with the temperature above which they cease to exhibit spontaneous magnetization (see Curie temperature ).
Closer to the magnet, the magnetic field becomes more complicated and more dependent on the detailed shape and magnetization of the magnet.
