NEET Physics Magnetic Properties of Materials Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a non-uniform magnetic field, a paramagnetic material tends to move towards the region of higher magnetic field. | Reason (R): The individual atomic dipole moments in a paramagnetic material align with the external field, leading to an overall enhancement of the internal magnetic field.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that in a non-uniform magnetic field, paramagnetic materials move towards stronger fields due to the alignment of atomic dipoles with the external field, enhancing the internal field.
