Question:

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion (A) : Susceptibility is defined as the ratio of intensity of magnetisation \(I\) to magnetic intensity \(H\)

Reason (R) : Greater the value of susceptibility smaller the value of intensity of magnetisation \(I\).

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Updated On: Apr 6, 2023
  • If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  • If the Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion
  • If Assertion is true but, Reason is false
  • If Assertion is false but, Reason is true

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

From the relation susceptibility of the material is $\chi_{m}=\frac{I}{H} \Rightarrow \chi_{m} \propto I$ Thus, it is obvious that greater the value of susceptibility of a material greater will be the value of intensity of magnetisation i.e., more easily it can be magnetised.

Magnetic Properties of Materials

Magnetic Material:

Magnetic material is one that can repel or attract other materials. The process of attraction or repulsion of these materials depends on the arrangement of electrons, which is known as the magnetic moment of that material.

Diamagnetic - With regard to the susceptibility χ, a material is diamagnetic if χ is negative. These materials produce negative magnetization when they are placed in the magnetic field. When placed in a magnetic field, these diamagnetic materials are barely magnetized. Diamagnetic substances are the ones that are repelled by magnets. 

Paramagnetic - In the presence of an external magnetic field, the substances that get weakly magnetized are known as paramagnetic substances. The magnetic dipoles align along the direction of the applied field, reinforcing and enhancing the magnetic field. These substances get weakly attracted to a magnet as they tend to move from a weaker magnetic field to a stronger one. The magnetization (M) of paramagnetic materials, discovered by Madam Curie, depends on the temperature (T) and the external magnetic field B.

M = C x (B/T) 

Where M = Magnetization

C = Curie Constant

B = External magnetic field

T = Temperature

Ferromagnetic - The materials strongly attracted by the magnetic field are known as ferromagnetic materials.
