The value of magnetic moment is zero in the case of antiferromagnetic substances because the domains
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
C, D
Solution:
(A) Domains get oriented in the direction of applied magnetic field
Incorrect — this is ferromagnetism, not antiferromagnetism.
(B) Domains get oriented opposite to applied magnetic field
Incorrect — not the defining reason for zero moment.
(C) Are oppositely oriented with respect to each other without external field
Correct — antiferromagnetic ordering is intrinsic.
(D) Cancel out each other's magnetic moment
Correct — equal and opposite moments lead to zero net magnetization.
