Question
Why is it not possible to make permanent magnets from paramagnetic materials?
✓
Answer
Permanent magnets are made from the material that are easily magnetized and retain the magnetization even reverse magnetizing field is applied (high coercivity). Paramagnetic materials get small magnetization, if they are placed in magnetic field, they lose their magnetization easily if the reverse field is applied. Hence, they are not used to make permanent magnet.

A hot gas emits radiation of wavelengths 46.0nm, 82.8nm and 103.5nm only. Assume that the atoms have only two excited states and the difference between consecutive energy levels decreases as energy is increased. Taking the energy of the highest energy state to be zero, find the energies of the ground state and the first excited state.
A circular loop of radius 20cm carries a current of 10A. An electron crosses the plane of the loop with a speed of 2.0 × 106m/s. The direction of motion makes an angle of 30° with the axis of the circle and passes through its centre. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron at the instant it crosses the plane.
