A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material where the magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in a uniform direction due to interactions between them. In such domains, the magnetic moments, which arise from the spin and orbital angular momentum of electrons, point in the same direction, resulting in a net magnetic moment for that domain. In ferromagnetic materials, which include elements like iron, cobalt, and nickel, these domains can vary in size and orientation.
