Ferrimagentic material has anti parallel orientation of unequal moments between neighbouring diploes Which of these statements are correct? Correct Answer 1 and 3

Paramagnetic materials

  • Small, positive susceptibility to magnetic fields
  • These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field
  • Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field
  • Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum
