Q1: Ferrites are __________ magnetic.

ANS:C - ferri

"Ferri" is a term used in the context of magnetism to describe materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic properties. In ferrimagnetic materials, such as some ferrites, the magnetic moments of the atoms or ions are aligned in a regular pattern, but unlike in ferromagnetic materials where all the magnetic moments are aligned in the same direction, in ferrimagnetic materials, the magnetic moments are aligned in opposite directions in different sublattices within the material. This results in a net magnetic moment for the material, but it is smaller than that of a ferromagnetic material because some of the magnetic moments cancel each other out due to their opposite orientations. As a result, ferrimagnetic materials typically exhibit weaker magnetic properties compared to ferromagnetic materials. Ferrimagnetic materials are commonly found in certain types of ferrites, which are ceramic compounds composed of iron oxide and other metal oxides such as nickel, zinc, or manganese. These materials have applications in various fields including electronics, telecommunications, and magnetic storage devices.
