Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

A paramagnetic substance when placed in an externally applied non-uniform magnetic field tends to ___________.

  1. increase the applied field

  2. decrease the applied field

  3. vary the applied field

  4. change the applied field
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Paramagnetic substances are the substances which are feebly attracted by a magnet. When a non-uniform external magnetic field is applied to a paramagnetic substance the magnetic field tries to aligned the magnetic moment in the direction of the field 

Completely alignment is however not possible, on account of thermal vibration. A better allingement can be achieved by increasing the strength of the applied magnetic field.

C Correct answer
Explanation

When the atomic magnetic moments are randomly oriented in a solid its magnetic behavior is termed as paramagnetic.in paramagnetism electrons are unpaired.

Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

Liquid oxygen remains suspended between two pole forces of a magnet because it is:

  1. diamagnetic

  2. paramagnetic

  3. ferromagnetic

  4. antiferromagnetic
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Oxygen is paramagnetic in nature. So if it will be attracted both by North pole or South pole. When it is placed exactly between two magnetic poles, the forces acting on it due to magnetic poles will be equal & opposite. Hence it will remain suspended between them.

A substance is placed in a non uniform magnetic field. It experiences weak force towards the strong field. The substance is _________ type.

  1. Ferromagnetic

  2. Diamagnetic

  3. Paramagnetic

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Paramagnetic substance has the property that when they are placed in an external magnetic field, they get weakly magnetised in the same direction as that of external magnetic field and are weakly attracted by the external magnetic field.
So, correct answer is option C.
