Question

For an element, the net dipole moment of all atoms is zero, but the dipole moment of every individual atom in it is non-zero. The material is -

• A. Ferromagnetic
• B. Paramagnetic
• C. Either option $\left(A\right)$ or $\left(B\right)$
• D. Neither option $\left(A\right)$ nor $\left(B\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Either option $\left(A\right)$ or $\left(B\right)$

In paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials, there is permanent atomic magnetic moment whose sum is zero, but in diamagnetic materials, there is no atomic magnetic moment.

Hence, option $\left(C\right)$ is correct.
