Question 5.16: Answer the following questions: (a) Why does a paramagnetic sample display greater magnetisation (for the same magnetising field) when cooled? (b) Why is diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature? (c) If a toroid uses bismuth for its core, will the field in the core be (slightly) greater or (slightly) less than when the core is empty? (d) Is the permeability of a ferromagnetic material independent of the magnetic field? If not, is it more for lower or higher fields? (e) Magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet at every point. (This fact is analogous to the static electric field lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point.) Why? (f ) Would the maximum possible magnetisation of a paramagnetic sample be of the same order of magnitude as the magnetization of a ferromagnet?Class 12 - Physics - Magnetism And Matter Magnetism And Matter Page-202 |

Answer» (a) in PARAMAGNETIC, the tendency to disturb the ALIGNMENT of molecular DIPOLES with the external magnetising FIELD arising from random thermal motion is reduced at lower TEMPERATURE. |
