Among the following properties describing diamagnetism identify the property that is wrongly state(d)
I. Diamagnetic material do not have permanent magnetic moment.
II. Diamagnetism is explained in terms of electromagnetic induction.
III. Diamagnetic materials have a small positive susceptibility.
IV. The magnetic moment of individual electrons neutralize each other.

  1. A I
  2. B II
  3. C III
  4. D IV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic susceptibility of diamagnetic materials is small and negative. Diamagnetic material do not have permanent magnetic moment because the magnetic moment of individual electrons neutralise each other due randomly oriented.
