Properties of Paramagnetic Substance Material - Class 12 Magnetism & Matters

eSaral Academic and Editorial Team
The substances are weakly attracted by the magnetic field. In the non-uniform external magnetic field, paramagnetic substances move from week field region to a strong field region. A paramagnetic rod sets itself parallel to the field because the field is strongest near poles. properties of Paramagnetic Substance Material are as follows: PROPERTIES OF PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCES MATERIAL
- The substances which when placed in a magnetising field get feebly magnetised in a direction parallel to magnetising field are called paramagnetic.
- The substances are weakly attracted by the field so in non uniform field they have a tendency to move from strong to weak fields.
- The substances are weakly attracted by the field so in non uniform field they have a tendency to move from strong to weak fields.

- A paramagnetic liquid in a U-tube ascends in the limb which is between the poles of magnet.
- Intensity of magnetisation I is very small, positive and directly proportional to magnetising field.
- Magnetic susceptibility $\chi_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{H}}$ is small and positive $\left(\sim 10^{-3} \text { to } 10^{-5}\right)$
- The relative permeability $\mu_{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\mu}{\mu_{0}}$ is slightly greater than one. The field $B$ inside the material $B$ is greater than magnetising field H. They have a tendency to pull in the lines of force.

- Magnetic dipole moment (M) is small and parallel to magnetising field H.
- The paramagnetic substances obey Curies law according to which magnetic susceptiblity is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature. $\quad \chi_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{T}}$ temperature. $\quad \chi_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{T}}$
- Paramagnetism is due to partial alignment of randomly oriented atomic dipoles along the field.
- The atoms of paramagnetic substances have permanent dipole moment i.e. unpaired spin.
- Paramagnetism is exhibited by solids, liquids and gases.
- If a paramagnetic liquid is placed in a watch glass placed on two pole pieces which are quite close to each other then liquids accumulates in the middle where field is strongest at poles.
- Paramagnetic substances are $A \ell, N a, K, S b, P t, C u C \ell_{2}, M n,$ Cr, Sn , liquid oxygen etc.
