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.
