Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: Susceptibilities of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances increase with decrease in temperature.
Statement - II: Diamagnetism is a result of orbital motions of electrons developing magnetic moments opposite to the applied magnetic field.
Choose the CORRECT answer from the options given below :-
Statement-I: Susceptibilities of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances increase with decrease in temperature.
Statement - II: Diamagnetism is a result of orbital motions of electrons developing magnetic moments opposite to the applied magnetic field.
Choose the CORRECT answer from the options given below :-
- (A)Both statement - I and statement -II are true.✓ Correct
- (B)Both statement - I and Statement - II are false.
- (C)Statement - I is true but statement - II is false.
- (D)Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Statement I is true: According to Curie's law, magnetic susceptibility for paramagnets (and for ferromagnets), so susceptibility increases as temperature decreases. Statement II is also true: Diamagnetism arises from the orbital motion of electrons creating induced magnetic moments that oppose the applied field. Both statements are correct.
