JEE Main 2023 — Magnetic Properties of Matter Question with Solution
JEE Main 2023 (12 Apr Shift 1)
Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The diamagnetic property depends on temperature.
Statement II : The induced magnetic dipole moment in a diamagnetic sample is always opposite to the magnetising field.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Step-by-step explanation
The properties of a diamagnetic material are as follows:
1. The susceptibility has a low negative value.
2. Susceptibility is independent of temperature.
3. The relative permeability is slightly less than one.
4. When placed in a non-uniform magnetic field they have a tendency to move away from the field.
5. When suspended freely in a uniform magnetic field, they set themselves perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.
Hence, Statement I is false, but statement II is true.
