Magnetism Question 10

Question: Assertion : The properties of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substance are not effected by heating. Reason : As temperature rises, the alignment of molecular magnets gradually decreases.

Options:

A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The properties of substance is due to alignment of molecules in it. When these substance are heated, molecules acquire some kinetic energy. Some of molecules may get back to the closed chain arrangement (produce zero resultant). So they lose their magnetic property or magnetism. Therefor the properties of both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic are effected by heating.
