Parts and what they mean

• Randomly oriented domains (यादृच्छिक दिशा वाले डोमेन) — Inside each domain all atomic moments point the same way, but different domains point randomly — no bulk magnetisation.
• Domain boundary (डोमेन सीमा) — Where one domain meets the next, the direction of magnetisation changes.
• Aligned domains (संरेखित डोमेन) — In a field B₀ the domains turn towards B₀ and those along B₀ grow, merging into one “giant” domain.
• External field B₀ (बाह्य क्षेत्र B₀) — The applied field.
