Magnetic Properties of Matter Physics - Magnetic Properties of Matter

The permanent magnetic moment of the atoms of a material is zero. The material:

1. Must be paramagnetic.
2. Must be diamagnetic.
3. Must be ferromagnetic.
4. May be paramagnetic.

When a ferromagnetic material goes through a hysteresis loop, the magnetic susceptibility:

1. Has a fixed value.
2. May be zero.
3. May be infinity.
4. May be negative.

The desirable properties for making permanent magnets are:

1. High retentivity and high coercive force.
2. High retentivity and low coercive force.
3. Low retentivity and high coercive force.
4. Low retentivity and low coercive force.

Pick the correct options.

1. All electrons have magnetic moment.
2. All protons have magnetic moment.
3. All nuclei have magnetic moment.
4. All atoms have magnetic moment.

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for:

1. Pramagnetic materials only.
2. Diamagnetic materials only.
3. Ferromagnetic materials only.
4. Paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials.

Do permeability and relative permeability have the same dimensions?

When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, it gets polarized. The electric field in a polarized material is less than the applied field. When a paramagnetic substance is kept in a magnetic field, the field in the substance is more than the applied field. Explain the reason of this opposite behaviour.
