Paramagnetic solids are `"__________"` by an external magnetic field

A

strongly repelled

B

weakly attracted

C

weakly repelled

D

strongly attracted

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
Because they possess permanent magnetic dipoles due to the presence of atoms ions or molecules with unparied electrons e.g, `Fe^(3+),Cu^(2+)` and `O_(2)`. They lose their magnetism on the removal of external magnetic field due to random orientaion of spins.

Depict the behaviour of magnetic field lines when (i) diamagnetic and (ii) a paramagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field. Mention briefly the properties of these materials which explain this distinguishing behaviour.

Assertion:Paramagneic substances get poorly attracted in magnetic field. Reason: Because magnetic dipoles are aligned along external magnetic field weakly.
