Magnetic Materials & Curie Law
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 magnetizing field.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Statement I: diamagnetism is independent of temperature, so it is incorrect.
- Statement II: by Lenz's law the induced moment always opposes the magnetizing field, so it is true.
- So the answer is (a).
