Fig. 3.7 a Demagnetization eld and the material-air boundary, b a ferromagnetic sphere in a
uniform external magnetic eld
material. Therefore, the demagnetization
eld is associated with the shape anisot-
ropy of the magnetic material.
For the case in Fig. 3.7 -left, which shows a material-air boundary, the external
magnetic

In the case of Fig. 3.7 -right, the ferromagnetic sphere is placed in a uniform
external magnetic
eld. This, because of the sphere
'
s shape, induces a uniform
magnetic
eld inside the sphere. However, in this case we will consider the entire
volume. In contrast to the case above, with Eq. ( 3.39 ) the magnetic
fl
ux density in
the sphere will be higher than the external magnetic

Therefore:

The relationship in Eq. ( 3.42 ) can now be described by using of the de

eld and con-
sequently the magnetization are not usually uniform (although they would be in the
case of an ellipsoid). For the case of spontaneous magnetization with no external
magnetic
Equation ( 3.43 ) is actually an approximation, since the internal
eld, Eqs. ( 3.36 ) and ( 3.43 ) will lead to the following de
nition of the
