Questions Related to magnetic materials

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for

  1. Paramagnetic materials only

  2. Diamagnetic material only

  3. Ferromagnetic materials only

  4. paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials


Correct Option: B

Which of the following species is para-magnetic

  1. A carbonium ion

  2. A free radical

  3. A carbonium

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A

The relative permeability of silicon is $0.99837$ and that of palladium is $1.00692$, choose the correct option from the following :

  1. silicon is paramagnetic and palladium is ferromagnetic

  2. silicon is ferromagnetic and palladium is paramagnetic

  3. silicon is diamagnetic and palladium is paramagnetic

  4. Both are paramagnetic


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Diamagnetic           Paramagnetic             Ferromagnetic
-1 $\leq$ $\chi$ < 0                  0 < $\chi$ < $\varepsilon$                  $\chi$ >> 1
0 $\leq$ $\mu _{r}$ < 1                1 < $\mu _{r}$ < 1+ $\varepsilon$               $\mu _{r}$ >> 1
$\chi$ $=$ magnetic susceptibility
$\mu _{r}$ $=$ relative permeability.
$\varepsilon$ < 1 and small.

The relative permeability of a material is $0.9$. The material is

  1. diamagnetic

  2. para magnetic

  3. ferro magnetic

  4. non-magnetic


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

diamagnetic material
$-1\leq \chi < 0$
0 $\leq$ $\mu$ < 1
$\chi$ $=$ Magnetic susceptibility
$\mu$ $=$ permeability

The susceptibility of a diamagnetic substance is

  1. $\infty $

  2. zero

  3. small but negative

  4. small but positive


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Diamagnetic sultance
-1 $\leq$ $\chi < 0$ 
$\theta =\mu < 1$
$\chi =susceptibility$
