physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. goes down

  2. rises up

  3. remains same

  4. first goes down and then rise

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When a paramagnetic liquid is taken in U-tube and one arm is placed between the poles of strong magnet, the liquid is feebly attracted by the magnet. Therefore, the level of the solution in the arm rises.

The magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic material at $-73^0$ is $0.0075$, its value at $-173^0$C will be

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. $0.0045$

  2. $0.0030$

  3. $0.015$

  4. $0.0075$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Given,
$X=0.0075 \,\,at\,\,\, T=-73^{\circ}$
Curie's law, $X=\cfrac{C}{T}$
$X _{1} \propto \cfrac{1}{T _{1}}$
$\therefore \cfrac{X _{1}}{X _{2}}=\cfrac{T _{2}}{T _{1}}$
$X _{2}=X _{1}\times \cfrac{T _{1}}{T _{2}}=0.0075\times \cfrac{273-73}{2.73-173}=0.015$

The purpose of soft iron cylinder between the pole pieces of the horse-shoe magnet in a moving coil galvanometer is 

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. to increase the magnetic induction in the polar

    gap

  2. to evenly distribute the magnetic lines of force

  3. to provide a radial magnetic field

  4. to reduce the magnetic flux leakage in the polar

    gap

What is not true about paramagnetic substances?

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. When freely suspended in a uniform magnetic field, they align themselves parallel to the magnetic field

  2. The magnetic susceptibility of paramagnetic substances has a small negative value

How will you quantize the relative permeability of a paramagnetic substance ?

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. Much more than one

  2. Slightly more than one

  3. Less than one but greater than zero

  4. Zero

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Paramagnetic substances are those which are attracted slightly in the direction of the magnetic field. As such, the magnetic permeability of these materials is slightly greater than $1$. 
Similarly, diamagnetic materials are those which are repelled slightly away from the direction of magnetic field. These materials have their permeability slightly less than $1$.
And ferromagnetic materials are those which are attracted very strongly and their permeabilities are much higher than $1$.

Show answer
Correct Option: B

The relative permeability is represented by $\mu _r$ and the susceptibility by $\chi$ for a magnetic substance. Then, for a paramagnetic substance. Then, for a paramagnetic substance 

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. $\mu _r> 1, \chi >0$

  2. $\mu _r> 1, \chi < 0$

  3. $\mu _r > 1, \chi >0$

  4. $\mu _r < 1, \chi < 0$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Susceptence $(\chi) = \dfrac{B-B _0}{B _0}$


Where $B _0$ is external applied magnetic field and $B$ is magnetic field in presence of paramagnetic substance.
Since dipoles in paramagnetic substance align in direction of applied magnetic filed, therefore $B > B _0$

And $B$ is bit more than $B _0$
$\Rightarrow \chi > 0$

And also $\mu _r = \chi + 1$
$\Rightarrow \mu _r  > 0 + 1$
$ \Rightarrow \mu _r > 1$
Therefore option A is correct.

A paramagnetic substance when placed in an externally applied non-uniform magnetic field tends to ___________.

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. increase the applied field

  2. decrease the applied field

  3. vary the applied field

  4. change the applied field

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Paramagnetic substances are the substances which are feebly attracted by a magnet. When a non-uniform external magnetic field is applied to a paramagnetic substance the magnetic field tries to aligned the magnetic moment in the direction of the field 

Completely alignment is however not possible, on account of thermal vibration. A better allingement can be achieved by increasing the strength of the applied magnetic field.

physics magnetism and matter paramagnetic material classification of magnetic material magnetism

  1. diamagnetic

  2. paramagnetic

  3. ferromagnetic

  4. antiferromagnetic

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oxygen is paramagnetic in nature. So if it will be attracted both by North pole or South pole. When it is placed exactly between two magnetic poles, the forces acting on it due to magnetic poles will be equal & opposite. Hence it will remain suspended between them.
