On the basis of the behavior of magnetic materials when placed in a magnetic field, all the magnetic materials can be classified as:

• Diamagnetic materials
• Paramagnetic materials
• Ferromagnetic materials
• Anti-ferromagnetic materials
• Ferrimagnetic materials and
• Meta & parasitic ferromagnetic materials
