NEETPhysicsMagnetic Properties of Matter
Paramagnetic substances: A. align themselves along the directions of external magnetic field. B. attract strongly towards external magnetic field. C. has susceptibility little more than zero. D. move from a region of strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA, B, C Only
- BA , B , C , D
- CA, C Only
- DB, D Only
Correct answer
C. A, C Only
Step-by-step solution
A. Align themselves along the directions of external magnetic field. ( ) True - paramagnetic materials have unpaired electrons and tend to align with the field. B. Attract strongly towards external magnetic field. X False - they are only weakly attracted (ferromagnets are strongly attracted). C. Has susceptibility little more than zero. ( ) True - magnetic susceptibility ( (X )) is small and positive for paramagnets. D. Move from a region of strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field. X False - they move towards
