Question

Three magnetic materials are listed below:
(A) Paramagnetics
(B) Diamagnetics
(C) Ferromagnetics
Choose the correct order of the materials in increasing order of magnetic susceptibility.

• A. (A), (B), (C)
• B. (C), (A), (B)
• C. (B), (A), (C)
• D. (B), (C), (A)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To arrange the magnetic materials in increasing order of magnetic susceptibility, we need to understand the characteristics of each type:

Diamagnetics (B): These materials have paired electrons and are weakly repelled by magnetic fields. They have a small, negative magnetic susceptibility.

Paramagnetics (A): These materials have unpaired electrons and are weakly attracted by magnetic fields. They have a small, positive magnetic susceptibility.

Ferromagnetics (C): These materials have strong magnetic properties due to the alignment of magnetic domains. They have a large, positive magnetic susceptibility.

Therefore, the increasing order of magnetic susceptibility is:

Diamagnetics < Paramagnetics < Ferromagnetics

Which corresponds to:

(B), (A), (C)

The correct answer is:

Option 3: (B), (A), (C)
