Paramagnetic substances
- A Move from a region of strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field
- B Has susceptibility less than zero
- C Attract strongly towards external magnetic field
- D Align themselves along the directions of external magnetic field
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Align themselves along the directions of external magnetic field
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Paramagnetic substances have a small positive magnetic susceptibility (\(\chi > 0\)) and are weakly attracted by an external magnetic field. They tend to move from a region of weak magnetic field to a region of strong magnetic field. When placed in an external magnetic field,…
