Question

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:

• A. A, B, C, D
• B. B, D Only
• C. A, B, C Only
• D. A, C Only

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A, C Only

Answer 2

Paramagnetic substances exhibit the following characteristics:
Align themselves along the direction of an external magnetic field due to unpaired electrons.
Are weakly attracted to an external magnetic field.
Possess a magnetic susceptibility $\chi > 0$, but it is small and positive.
Do not move from strong to weak fields (this is a property of diamagnetic substances).
Final Answer: A, C only
