CONCEPT:

  • Magnetic materials are broadly classified into
  1. Paramagnetic
  2. Diamagnetic
  3. Ferromagnetic based on the intensity of magnetization
  • The given table below shows the behavior of each material in the external magnetic field.

Characteristics

Paramagnetic

Diamagnetic

Ferromagnetic

Behavior in Magnetic field

When placed in a magnetic field get feebly magnetized in the direction of the applied field. 

These feebly magnetized materials tend to move from the weaker to the stronger region of the magnetic field.

When placed in a magnetic field gets feebly magnetized in the direction of the applied field.

When placed in a magnetic field get strongly magnetized in the direction of the applied field.

Examples

Al, Na, Cucl2

Cu, Pb, Sn 

Fe, Co, Gd 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXPLANATION:

  • The presence of unpaired electron in orbit causes the material to exhibit paramagnetism 
  • Most of the materials have an unpaired electron in their outer orbits
  • Hence, most of the materials exhibit paramagnetism​. Hence, option 2  is the answer.
