History
In the ancient world when people started noticing that Lodestones (magnetized pieces of mineral magnetite) was able to attract iron it was then only when the concept of magnetism was introduced. Indian surgeon Surushastra was the first person to use magnets for surgical purposes.  
Definition of Magnets and Magnetism in physics
Magnets: The ability of an object or a material to produce invisible magnetic field lines in order to develop a force which attracts other ferromagnetic materials such as iron, steel, etc. are known as Magnets.
Magnetism: Magnetism is a phenomenon by the virtue of which there develops an attracting or repulsive force between two magnetic objects.

Source of Magnetism or Cause of Magnetism
Motion of electrons in atoms gives rise to the phenomenon called magnetism. Basically, two types of motions are associated with the electrons:
·         Motion of electrons in an orbit within the nucleus.
·         Spin of electrons around its axis.
The spin and orbital moments imparts magnetic moment on each electron, forcing them to behave as tiny magnets.
The rotational force experienced by a magnet when placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to its magnetic axis is defined as the magnetic moment of a magnet.

Classes of Magnetic Materials
The magnetic behavior of materials can be classified in the following groups:
·    Diamagnetism: Those materials which are less susceptible to the magnetic fields are known as Diamagnetic Material and they exhibit a property called diamagnetism, whereby the net magnetic moment of atoms is zero. Thus, when placed in a magnetic field it produces negative magnetization. For Example: Water, Wood.
·       Paramagnetism: The best example of paramagnetic material is aluminum and platinum. Due to partially filled orbital, some atoms possess net magnetic moments, resulting in positive magnetization and susceptibility in the presence of magnetic field. But when the field is removed, the magnetization is zero. For Example: Magnesium, Molybdenum.
·    Ferromagnetism: Unlike diamagnets or paramagnets, those materials which tend to remain magnetized even when the magnetic field is removed exhibits ferromagnetism. This phenomenon is also known as Hysteresis and the plot between variations of magnetism with magnetic field is called Hysteresis Loop. However, at one point or temperature the ferromagnetic materials tend to lose its magnetic properties. This temperature or point is known as Curie point or Curie temperature. For Example: Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt.
· Ferrimagnetism: The basic difference between a ferromagnetic material and ferromagnetic material is that some magnetic domains in ferrimagnetic material point in the same direction while some point in the opposite direction. While in case of ferromagnetic material all the magnetic domains point in the same direction. For Example: Cubic Ferrites composed of iron oxides, Aluminum, Zinc etc.
·         Anti-ferromagnetism: In anti-ferromagnetic material, the magnetic moments of atoms or molecules usually related to the spin of the electrons align in a regular pattern with neighboring spins in opposite directions.  
Definition of Matter
In modern physics, matter is defined as a substance which is made of various types of particles of various size and matter each. In simple language, substance which has mass and occupies space is known as MatterFor Example: Hematite (main ore of iron), oxides such as nickel oxide.  
Different States of Matter
There are three different states of matter:
Solid
Liquid
Gas
·         Solid: Substances which have definite shape and volume, high density and are not easily compressible are defined as Solid. The inter-molecular attraction (forces that operate within the particles such as atoms, ions etc.) in solid is very strong and it holds the particles of the substance close to each other.
·         Liquid: Substances which have indefinite shape (takes the shape of a container easily) is known as Liquid. Liquid substances have density less than solids but much higher than gases and they are largely compressible. Unlike solids, the inter-molecular attraction between the particles of liquid are weak and the particles are less tightly held. Hence, they are allowed to move away from each other.
·         Gas: The Substances which have indefinite shape and has low density are categorized as gaseous substance. They have indefinite volume and are highly compressible. Also, the inter-molecular forces between the particles inside a gaseous material are very weak compared to that of liquid and gas.
Relation between Matter and Magnetism
The role of the forces existing between the particles within the substance determines how the substance will behave when placed in Magnetic field. Normally every substance possesses magnetic characteristics. Substances like copper and aluminum which is considered to have high magnetic property is also affected when placed in a magnetic field. Depending on the response of their behavior that is, either attraction or repulsion matters are classified as paramagnetic or diamagnetic respectively.
Conclusion
Magnetism is a common and very important phenomenon which finds use in every field. In physics, Magnetism helps to understand the behavioral property of matter. The way a matter responds when placed in magnetic field gives rise to different types of magnetic materials like paramagnetic or diamagnetic as explained above. Thus, it can be concluded saying that matter and magnetism phenomenon is closely related to each other.  



Frequently asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Who discovered the Magnet?
Sol. Magnet was discovered by ancient Greeks who started noticing that magnetized pieces of mineral Magnetite were able to attract iron.
Q2. What is the source of Magnetism?
Sol. Every material when placed inside a magnetic field exhibit magnetism because of the arrangements of electrons and their motion inside the matter. Motion of the electrons can be categorized into two parts:
·         Motion of electron around the nucleus.
·         Spin of electron around its Axis.  
Q3. What is Magnetism in physics?
Sol. In physics, Magnetism is defined as the property by the virtue of which a magnetic material is able to create an attraction or repulsion force. In physics, Magnetism helps to study the behavior of matter in magnetic fields.

How To Remove Proxy Virus [127.0.0.1:8080] 100%[works]

Hi Guys! If you are seeing this blog means you have probably been disgusted by the proxy virus  127.0.0.1:8080  . That is When you try to connect to the internet it shows a  proxy server error or Can't connect to the proxy ,  Even when you try to change the proxy value you can't. It's not your fault, but of a certain Application or Browser that allows third-party apps to change the value and do anything (that a non-administrator user can do) . Actually, It Is a hacking virus that third-party app feed into your PC, or simply if you download any file from the Internet it gets attached too. Many Antiviruses Applications are unaware of this virus and don't block it, this is the case when our computer's antivirus won't work. It recognizes this virus as a file. This is a new type of virus that a hacker develops for gaining money cause it's their way to do it and they find it easy to use. In Youtube, there are such videos which show you how to remove

Getting a personal VPN connection in instantly.

 getting virtual machines is good as you'll only have to pay for when you use them. google cloud is also a good cloud service to use. Basically you need a VM or a Cloud Compute to get yourself a VPN. You can also choose a VPS. Operating system should be Linux. Used Ubuntu 20.04 here. Note- using OpenVPN so you'll have to download OpenVPN Client for your device Step 1- Get yourself a Speedy Cheap (depends) VPN server with the location you want, at least 512GB Ram and 1CPU.

Quantitative Estimation [ Theory and Procedure ]

Objectives To prepare a standard solution of sodium carbonate. To determine the strength of a given solution of hydrochloric acid by titrating it against  standard sodium carbonate solution. The Theory What is Titration? One of the important methods in Quantitative Analysis is Volumetric Analysis, a commonly used laboratory technique. It is used to determine the unknown concentration of a sample by measuring its volume. This process is also called titration. In a titration, a solution of unknown concentration is reacted with a solution of known concentration. The solution taken in the burette is called the titrant and the solution taken in the conical flask is called the analyte. What does the end point of a titration mean? The endpoint of a titration is the point at which the reaction between the titrant and the analyte becomes complete. Generally the endpoint of a titration is determined using indicators. What is a standard solution? A solution of known concentrat
