| sno | Dia magnetic materials | Para magnetic materials | Ferromagnetic materials |
| (i) | In diamagnetic materials each electron orbit has finite orbital magnetic dipole moment. | In paramagnetic materials each atom (or) molecule has net magnetic dipole moment. |
The ferromagnetic materials have net dipole moment as in a paramagnetic material. |
| (ii) | Since the orbital planes are oriented in random manner, the vector sum of magnetic moments is zero. | Due to the random orientation of these magnetic moments, the net magnetic moment of the material is zero. | Within each domain, the magnetic moments are spontaneously aligned in a direction. |
| (iii) | The resultant magnetic moment for each atom is zero. | There is net magnetic dipole moment induced in the direction of the applied field. | Since the direction of magnetisation varies from domain to domain, net magnetisation of the specimen is zero. |
