Russian Translation(s) & Details for 'ferromagnetic'

English Word: ferromagnetic

Key Russian Translations:

• ферромагнитный /fʲɪrəməɡˈnʲitnɨj/ - [Formal, Scientific]

Frequency: Low (This term is primarily used in specialized scientific and technical contexts, not in everyday conversation.)

Difficulty: Advanced (C1) - Requires familiarity with physics terminology and Russian adjective declensions; suitable for learners with a strong background in science.

Pronunciation (Russian):

ферромагнитный: /fʲɪrəməɡˈnʲitnɨj/

Note on ферромагнитный: The pronunciation features a palatalized 'р' sound (/rʲ/), which can be challenging for non-native speakers. Stress falls on the third syllable, and the word ends with a soft 'ый' sound typical of Russian adjectives.

Audio: []

Meanings and Usage:

Meaning: Relating to or exhibiting ferromagnetism, a property of certain materials that can be magnetized and retain magnetism.

Translation(s) & Context:

• ферромагнитный - Used in scientific, technical, or academic contexts to describe materials like iron that exhibit strong magnetic properties.

Usage Examples:

• В ферромагнитных материалах, таких как железо, магнитные домены выравниваются под влиянием внешнего магнитного поля.

  In ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, magnetic domains align under the influence of an external magnetic field.

• Ферромагнитные свойства делают этот сплав идеальным для производства постоянных магнитов.

  Ferromagnetic properties make this alloy ideal for producing permanent magnets.

• Изучение ферромагнитных материалов помогает понять основы современной электроники.

  Studying ferromagnetic materials helps understand the basics of modern electronics.

• В отличие от парамагнитных веществ, ферромагнитные элементы сохраняют намагниченность после удаления внешнего поля.

  Unlike paramagnetic substances, ferromagnetic elements retain magnetization after the removal of an external field.

• Ферромагнитный эффект был открыт в XIX веке и revolutionized the field of magnetism.

  The ferromagnetic effect was discovered in the 19th century and revolutionized the field of magnetism.

Russian Forms/Inflections:

ферромагнитный is an adjective in Russian, which means it undergoes declension based on gender, number, and case. It follows the standard pattern for adjectives ending in -ый. Below is a table outlining its key inflections:

Note: This adjective does not have irregular forms, making it relatively straightforward once the basic adjective declension rules are learned.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms: None direct; related terms include магнитный (magnetic, but less specific).
• Antonyms: парамагнитный (paramagnetic) - Refers to materials that are only temporarily magnetized in the presence of a field; ферромагнитный implies permanent magnetism.

Related Phrases:

• ферромагнитные материалы - Ferromagnetic materials; Commonly used in discussions about physics and engineering.
• ферромагнитный резонанс - Ferromagnetic resonance; Refers to a phenomenon in magnetic materials used in advanced technologies.
• ферромагнитные свойства - Ferromagnetic properties; Describes the characteristics that make a material suitable for magnetic applications.

Usage Notes:

ферромагнитный directly corresponds to the English "ferromagnetic" and is used almost exclusively in scientific or technical contexts, such as physics, materials science, and engineering. It is a formal term and should be avoided in casual conversation. When translating, ensure the context involves magnetism; for general magnetic properties, магнитный might be more appropriate. Grammatically, always decline it according to the noun it modifies, as Russian adjectives must agree in gender, number, and case.

Common Errors:

• Error: Confusing it with "магнитный" (magnetic) and using it interchangeably. Incorrect: "магнитный материал" for a specifically ferromagnetic substance. Correct: Use "ферромагнитный материал" to specify strong, permanent magnetism. Explanation: "магнитный" is broader and includes non-ferromagnetic types, leading to imprecision in scientific writing.

• Error: Failing to decline the adjective properly, e.g., using "ферромагнитный" in all cases. Incorrect: "в ферромагнитный поле" (wrong genitive). Correct: "в ферромагнитном поле". Explanation: Russian requires adjective-noun agreement, so always check the case of the governing noun.

Cultural Notes:

This term is primarily associated with scientific advancements rather than cultural elements. However, in Russian-speaking contexts, it reflects the historical emphasis on physics and engineering in countries like Russia, where pioneers like Dmitri Mendeleev contributed to material sciences. It underscores the importance of technical education in Russian culture.
