Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Paramagnetic substances exhibit the following characteristics:
Align themselves along the direction of an external magnetic field due to unpaired electrons.
Are weakly attracted to an external magnetic field.
Possess a magnetic susceptibility \( \chi > 0 \), but it is small and positive.
Do not move from strong to weak fields (this is a property of diamagnetic substances).

- A moving coil galvanometer has 100 turns and each turn has an area of $2.0 \, \text{cm}^2$. The magnetic field produced by the magnet is $0.01 \, \text{T}$ and the deflection in the coil is $0.05$ radians when a current of $10 \, \text{mA}$ is passed through it. The torsional constant of the suspension wire is $x \times 10^{-5} \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m/rad}$. The value of $x$ is:
