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?

Magnetization current when two magnets are brought together and the Lorentz force law

Suppose we have two ferromagnetic objects constituting two permanent magnets. A classical way to think of the two magnets repelling/attracting each other would be by ascribing bulk and surface ...

Energy Conservation when two permanent magnets attract each other

I have a very basic doubt related to energy conservation in a system of magnets. Suppose I have two magnets (bar magnets) of magnetic moment $M$ kept along the line with an initial distance $X_0$ such ...

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 ...

How many electrons in a ferromagnetic material, per atom, have their spins pointing in the same direction?

Is there a list or chart somewhere that states, approximately, how many outer electrons per atom in a particular ferromagnetic material are aligned? Are there, say, five electrons in an FeO2 magnet's ...

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 ...
