Does the magnetisation of a paramagnetic salt dependon temperature ? Give reason for your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, the magnetisation of a paramagnetic salt depends on temperature. The atoms of a paramagnetic material possess small magnetic dipole moments but these atomic dipoles are randomly oriented. When external magnetic field is applied, the magnetic dipoles try to align but the thermal agitation hampers the alignment. Hence, the magnetisation of a paramagnetic salt depends on the temperature.
