Magnetostatic energy
This is the magnetic potential energy generated when a magnetic body is present in a magnetic field. For a strongly magnetic body, even in the absence of an external magnetic field, magnetostatic energy is generated within the magnetic body by the internal magnetic field generated in the opposite direction from the magnetization (and called the diamagnetic field). The amount is the amount of work required for the magnetic poles to exist counter to the internal magnetic field at both ends of the magnetic body. A strongly magnetic body is given a magnetic domain structure in order to minimize this magnetostatic energy.
