Given below are two statements:
Statement I: For diamagnetic substance -1 ≤ X < 0 , where X 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.
Statement I: For diamagnetic substance -1 ≤ X < 0 , where X 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.
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Statement I is correct: For diamagnetic substances, the magnetic susceptibility \( X \) lies between \( -1 \leq X < 0 \), as diamagnetic substances are repelled by the magnetic field, and their susceptibility is negative.
Statement II is also correct: Diamagnetic substances move from stronger magnetic fields to weaker magnetic fields due to their negative susceptibility. This is because diamagnetic materials tend to create an opposing magnetic field that repels the external field, thus moving to areas where the magnetic field is weaker.
Therefore, both statements are correct.

- Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below.
Ferromagnetic substances are those which get strongly magnetized when placed in an external magnetic field. They have strong tendency to move from a region of weak magnetic field to strong magnetic field, that is, they get strongly attracted to a magnet. The individual atoms (or ions or molecules) in a ferromagnetic material possess a dipole moment as in a paramagnetic material. However, they interact with one another in such a way that these spontaneously align themselves in a common direction over a macroscopic volume called domain. Each domain has a net magnetization. Typical domain size is 1 mm and the domain contains about \(10^{11}\) atoms. In the first instant the magnetization varies randomly from domain to domain and there is no bulk magnetization. When we apply an external magnetic field \(B_0\) the domains orient themselves in the direction of \(B_0\) and simultaneously that domain oriented in the direction of \(B_0\) grows in size. We may wonder as to what happens when the external field is removed, in some ferromagnetic materials the magnetization persists. Such materials are called hard magnetic materials of hard magnets. Alnico, an alloy of iron, aluminium, nickel, cobalt and copper is one such material. There is a class of magnetic materials in which the magnetization disappears on removal of the external field. Soft iron is one such material. Such materials are called soft ferromagnetic materials. There are number of elements which are ferromagnetic. Iron, cobalt, Nickel, gadolinium etc. The ferromagnetic property depends on temperature. At high enough temperature a ferromagnet becomes a paramagnet. That domain structure disintegrates with temperature. This disappearance of magnetization with the temperature is gradual.- PSEB XII - 2025
