Why is diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Diamagnetism occurs due to change in orbital magnetic moment of paired electrons on application of magnetising field. Electrons with orbital magnetic moment in the same direction as the applied field slow down, and those in opposite direction speed up. Thus induced dipole moment in a diamagnetic sample is always opposite to the magnetising field, irrespective of the internal motion of the atoms. Since, the internal motion is dependent on the temperature of the sample, so the induced dipole moment is almost independent of temperature.

Answer the following questions: (a) Why does a paramagnetic sample display greater magnetization (for the same magnetizing field) when cooled. (b) Why is diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature? (c) If a toroid uses bismuth for its core, will the field in the core be (slightly) greater or (slightly) less than when the core is empty? (d) Is the permeability of a ferromagnetic material independent of the magnetic field? If not, is it more for lower or higher fields? (e) Magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet at every point (This fact is analogous to the static electric field lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point).
