Question
Explain the following with suitable examples:
Paramagnetism
Advertisements
Solution
- The substances that are attracted by a magnetic field are called paramagnetic substances.
- Some examples of paramagnetic substances are O2, Cu2+, Fe3+, etc.
- Paramagnetic substances get magnetised in a magnetic field in the same direction but lose magnetism when the magnetic field is removed.
- To undergo paramagnetism, a substance must have one or more unpaired electrons. This is because the unpaired electrons are attracted by a magnetic field, thereby causing paramagnetism.
