QJEEM23Ph81e0: JEE Main 2023 Physics - Class 12 JEEM23Ph81e0 Solution: Given below are two statements: Statement I : For diamagnetic…
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : For diamagnetic substance, -1 \leq \chi < 0 , where is the magnetic susceptibility.
Statement II : Diamagnetic substances when placed in an external magnetic field, tend to move from stronger to weaker part of the field.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Statement I is correct but Statement II is false
- C Both Statement I and Statement II are False
- D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I: For diamagnetic substances, the magnetic susceptibility (χ) lies between -1 and 0. This is because diamagnetic substances have a negative magnetic susceptibility, which means they have a tendency to oppose the applied magnetic field.
Statement II: Diamagnetic substances, when placed in an external magnetic field, experience a force that tends to move them from stronger to weaker parts of the field. This is due to the fact that diamagnetic substances oppose the applied magnetic field and try to minimize their exposure to it.
