Q13JEE Main 2023 · 10 APR · SHIFT 2Easy

Magnetic Materials & Curie Law

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: For diamagnetic substance, −1≤χ<0-1 \le \chi < 0, where χ\chi is the magnetic susceptibility. Statement II: Diamagnetic substances when placed in an external magnetic field, tend to move from stronger to weaker part of the field.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Statement I: diamagnetic χ\chi is negative, with χ=−1\chi = -1 for a perfect diamagnet, so −1≤χ<0-1 \le \chi < 0 is true.
  2. Statement II: diamagnetic substances move from stronger to weaker field, true.
  3. So the answer is (a) both statements are true.
