Curie temperature is the temperature above which 

  1. a ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic

  2. a paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic

  3. a ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic

  4. a paramagnetic material becomes ferromagnetic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Curie temperature is the temperature above which ferromagnetic materials lose their permanent magnetic field, the magnetism completely disappears. Above Curie temperature, the material behaves para-magnetically.

A ferromagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field. The magnetic domains 

  1. Increase in size

  2. Decrease in size

  3. May increase or decrease is size

  4. Have no relation with the field


Correct Option: A

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for

  1. Paramagnetic materials only

  2. Diamagnetic material only

  3. Ferromagnetic materials only

  4. paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials


Correct Option: B

Which of the following species is para-magnetic

  1. A carbonium ion

  2. A free radical

  3. A carbonium

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A

The relative permeability of silicon is $0.99837$ and that of palladium is $1.00692$, choose the correct option from the following :

  1. silicon is paramagnetic and palladium is ferromagnetic

  2. silicon is ferromagnetic and palladium is paramagnetic

  3. silicon is diamagnetic and palladium is paramagnetic

  4. Both are paramagnetic


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Diamagnetic           Paramagnetic             Ferromagnetic
-1 $\leq$ $\chi$ < 0                  0 < $\chi$ < $\varepsilon$                  $\chi$ >> 1
0 $\leq$ $\mu _{r}$ < 1                1 < $\mu _{r}$ < 1+ $\varepsilon$               $\mu _{r}$ >> 1
$\chi$ $=$ magnetic susceptibility
$\mu _{r}$ $=$ relative permeability.
$\varepsilon$ < 1 and small.

The relative permeability of a material is $0.9$. The material is

  1. diamagnetic

  2. para magnetic

  3. ferro magnetic

  4. non-magnetic


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

diamagnetic material
$-1\leq \chi < 0$
0 $\leq$ $\mu$ < 1
$\chi$ $=$ Magnetic susceptibility
$\mu$ $=$ permeability

The susceptibility of a diamagnetic substance is

  1. $\infty $

  2. zero

  3. small but negative

  4. small but positive


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Diamagnetic sultance
-1 $\leq$ $\chi < 0$ 
$\theta =\mu < 1$
$\chi =susceptibility$

If a musical instrument is played on very high pitch then its frequency is:

  1. same

  2. high

  3. low

  4. zero


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If pitch is high frequency is high and vice versa.

Our inner ear is shaped like

  1. a snail

  2. a bird

  3. a bear

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Our inner ear is shaped like a snail and is called cochlea.

Combination of notes that produced jarring effect on the ear is called

  1. discord

  2. harmony

  3. noise

  4. melody


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Combination of notes that produced jarring effect on the ear is called discord. Discord is lack of harmony between notes sounding together.
