Physics - Magnetism Question with Solution | TestHub
Which of the following statements about magnetic materials is/are correct?
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
Diamagnetic materials are characterized by weak repulsion from an external magnetic field, so A is correct. Paramagnetic materials are weakly attracted to a magnetic field, which corresponds to a positive and small magnetic susceptibility (, typically to ), so B is correct. Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnetic fields and retain some magnetism after the external field is removed, a phenomenon known as hysteresis. So C is correct. The magnetic susceptibility of diamagnetic materials is nearly independent of temperature, unlike paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials which show significant temperature dependence. So D is incorrect.
