Internally, what defines whether a material is magnetically hard or soft?

I know that magnetically hard materials hold magnetic fields (magnetic moment alignment) for longer, while soft metals do not. However, what, internally, causes these properties to arise?

How Mars have so less magnetic field if it spins?

Moving charges have magnetic fields. If Mars spins, it moves and so the core with it and so will the electrons inside it. Then why it needs liquid core to have strong magnetic field, what about the ...

Why armature is being rotated in DC generator?

I am wondering about why armatures are being rotated instead of being static? The magnetic flux will still cut the armature windings and because of this induced current will be generated. So, why it ...

How can I find the force of a solenoid with a moving plunger?

It seems like it should be a simple equation, until I realized that the core isn't magnetized until it is induced, then there is a dipole moment, and then as it moves the core of the solenoid ...

Does a straight, current-carrying wire always repel a permanent magnet? Regardless of the permanent magnet's orientation?

Several people have told me that a current-carrying wire usually (or always) repels a nearby permanent magnet.... Most recently, I saw this Veritasium video on YouTube: 'How Special Relativity Makes ...

How can diamagnetism levitate anything?

From the explanation of diamagnetism that I was given, the electrons when exposed to a changing magnetic field will change their spin in accordance to Lenz's law. This will induce an opposing magnetic ...
