Why does the magnetisation of a paramagnetic salt increase on cooling?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At lower temperatures, tendency to disrupt the alignment of dipoles with applied magnetic field arising from random thermal motion is reduced.

How does the intensity of magnetization of a paramagnetic material vary with increasing applied magnetic field?

A: The maximum possible magnetization of a paramagnetic sample is of the same order of magnitude as the magnetization of a ferromagnet. R: Saturation of paramagnetic substnaces requires imparactically high magnetising fields.

Why NO is paramagnetic?

Increasing order of paramagnetism is
