Diamagnetism and Paramagnetism
The story of magnetism begins with a mineral called magnetite “Fe3O4”.
The first truly scientific study of magnetism was made by William Gilbert.
His book “On the magnet” was published in 1600.
In 1820 Hans Christian Oersted discovered that
an electric current produces a magnetic field.
In 1825 the first electromagnet was made by Sturgeon.
Each stores the same
magnetic energy ~0.4J.
