Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The diamagnetic property depends on temperature.
Statement II : The induced magnetic dipole moment in a diamagnetic sample is always opposite to the magnetizing field.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Solution
<b>Statement I</b> : The diamagnetic property depends on temperature.
This statement is incorrect. Diamagnetism is an intrinsic property of materials that arises due to the presence of completely filled electron shells. It does not depend on temperature.
<br/><br/>
<b>Statement II</b> : The induced magnetic dipole moment in a diamagnetic sample is always opposite to the magnetizing field.
This statement is true. Diamagnetic materials have a negative magnetic susceptibility, which means that they oppose the applied magnetic field. This results in the induced magnetic dipole moment being always opposite to the magnetizing field.
