Nonferromagnetic: meaning, definitions and examples
🧲
nonferromagnetic
[ nɒnˌfɛr.oʊ.məˈɡnɛtɪk ]
magnetic properties
Nonferromagnetic refers to materials that do not exhibit ferromagnetism. These materials do not have a net magnetic moment and do not become magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. Common examples include copper, aluminum, and some alloys.
Synonyms
diamagnetic, non-magnetic, paramagnetic.
Examples of usage
- Copper is a nonferromagnetic metal and does not attract magnets.
- Nonferromagnetic materials are often used in electrical applications to avoid interference.
- The research focused on nonferromagnetic compounds for their potential in electronic devices.

Etymology
The term 'nonferromagnetic' originates from the prefix 'non-', which denotes absence or negation, combined with 'ferromagnetic'—a term derived from 'ferrous', relating to iron, which is known for its strong magnetic properties. The study of magnetism can be traced back to ancient times, but the specific classification of materials into ferromagnetic and nonferromagnetic categories began in the 19th century as scientists sought to understand the underlying properties of different substances in relation to magnetism. The word 'ferromagnetic' itself was first used in the 1890s, deriving from the Latin 'ferrum' for iron. Nonferromagnetic materials, which include various metals and alloys, became significant in various technological applications, notably in electronics and materials science, leading to a deeper understanding of how these materials interact with magnetic fields.
