Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how paramagnetic substances differ from ferromagnetic substances, we can break down the characteristics of each type of material step by step. ### Step 1: Definition of Paramagnetic Substances Paramagnetic substances are materials that have unpaired electrons. When these substances are placed in a magnetic field, they become magnetized in the direction of the magnetic field. However, this magnetization is temporary. Once the external magnetic field is removed, the material loses its magnetism. ### Step 2: Characteristics of Paramagnetic Substances - **Magnetization**: They are weakly attracted to magnetic fields. - **Behavior in Magnetic Field**: They align with the magnetic field when it is applied. ...
