Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A. align themselves along the directions of external magnetic field.
B. attract strongly towards external magnetic field.
C. has susceptibility little more than zero.
D. move from a region of strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- (A)A, B, C, D
- (B)B, D Only
- (C)A, B, C Only
- (D)A, C Only✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
For a paramagnetic substance: (A) it aligns along the external field — correct; (C) its susceptibility is small and positive () — correct. (B) it is only weakly (not strongly) attracted — wrong; (D) it moves from weak towards strong field, not the reverse — wrong. Only A and C are correct — option (D).
