Which of the following is a magnetic material?

  1. Copper

  2. Iron

  3. Aluminum

  4. Gold


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Iron is a magnetic material because it contains unpaired electrons, which align in the presence of an external magnetic field.

What is the SI unit of magnetic field strength?

  1. Tesla

  2. Gauss

  3. Weber

  4. Ampere


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The SI unit of magnetic field strength is Tesla (T), which is defined as one weber per square meter (Wb/m^2).

Which of the following materials is a permanent magnet?

  1. Soft iron

  2. Hard steel

  3. Nickel

  4. Copper


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hard steel is a permanent magnet because it retains its magnetization even after the external magnetic field is removed.

What is the phenomenon of losing magnetic properties when heated above a certain temperature called?

  1. Magnetization

  2. Demagnetization

  3. Hysteresis

  4. Magnetic saturation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Demagnetization is the phenomenon of losing magnetic properties when heated above a certain temperature, known as the Curie temperature.

What is the relationship between magnetic field strength (H) and magnetic flux density (B) in a material?

  1. H = B

  2. H = B/μ

  3. H = μB

  4. H = Bμ


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The relationship between magnetic field strength (H) and magnetic flux density (B) in a material is given by H = B/μ, where μ is the magnetic permeability of the material.

Which of the following materials is diamagnetic?

  1. Iron

  2. Copper

  3. Nickel

  4. Cobalt


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Diamagnetic materials have a negative magnetic susceptibility and repel magnetic fields. Copper is a diamagnetic material.

What is the property of a material that opposes the change in its magnetization when an external magnetic field is applied?

  1. Magnetic susceptibility

  2. Magnetic permeability

  3. Magnetic hysteresis

  4. Magnetic saturation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Magnetic hysteresis is the property of a material that opposes the change in its magnetization when an external magnetic field is applied.

Which of the following materials is paramagnetic?

  1. Iron

  2. Copper

  3. Oxygen

  4. Gold


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Paramagnetic materials have a positive magnetic susceptibility and are weakly attracted to magnetic fields. Oxygen is a paramagnetic material.

What is the point at which a material reaches its maximum magnetization and cannot be further magnetized?

  1. Magnetic saturation

  2. Magnetic hysteresis

  3. Magnetic permeability

  4. Magnetic susceptibility


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Magnetic saturation is the point at which a material reaches its maximum magnetization and cannot be further magnetized.

Which of the following materials is ferromagnetic?

  1. Iron

  2. Copper

  3. Aluminum

  4. Gold


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ferromagnetic materials have a strong positive magnetic susceptibility and are strongly attracted to magnetic fields. Iron is a ferromagnetic material.

What is the phenomenon of a sudden change in the magnetization of a material when an external magnetic field is applied called?

  1. Magnetic saturation

  2. Magnetic hysteresis

  3. Magnetic permeability

  4. Magnetic susceptibility


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Magnetic hysteresis is the phenomenon of a sudden change in the magnetization of a material when an external magnetic field is applied.

Which of the following materials is antiferromagnetic?
