Given below are two statements: Statement\(- I\) : Susceptibilities of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances increase with decrease in temperature. Statement\(- II\): Diamagnetism is a result of orbital motions of electrons developing magnetic moments opposite to the applied magnetic field. Choose the \(CORRECT\) answer from the options given below : -

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both statement\(- I\) and statement \(-II\) are true.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to curie's law, magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to temperature for a fixed value of external magnetic field i.e. \(\chi=\frac{C}{T}\).

The same is applicable for ferromagnet and the relation is given as \(\chi=\frac{ C }{ T - T _{ C }} \quad\left( T _{ C }\right.\) is curie temperature)

Diamagnetism is due to non-cooperative behaviour of orbiting electrons when exposed to external magnetic field.

Hence option \((A).\)
