What's the magnetic moment induced by an external magnetic field on a ferromagnetic material?

Physics Asked by E. Morell on November 27, 2020

How do you model the magnetic moment that’s induced by an external magnetic field? So basically if you have an external B field, and we put a ferromagnetic rod in that field, what would be the rod’s magnetic moment?

First you need to find the magnetization $M$, this is equal to $chi_mH$ where $H=frac{B}{mu}$. Then the magnetic moment is just $iiint{MdV}$, over the volume of the rod.

In Gaussian units, ${bf B=H}+4pi{bf M}$. If it is long and thin, $bf H$ is negligible, and ${bf M =B}/4pi$ for most of the length. The magnetic moment is $bf M$ times the volume. When $bf B$ is removed, $bf M$ will reduce to smaller value, depending on the material.
