ferromagnetism

fer·ro·mag·ne·tism [ fèrrō mágnə tìzzəm ]


noun 
Definition:
 
strong magnetization induced by weak field: a property of some substances, including iron and some alloys, in which application of a weak magnetic field within a specific temperature range induces high magnetism. Small discrete regions within the substance domains align with the direction of an applied magnetic field and produce the bulk magnetization.
