NEET Physics Magnetic Properties of Materials MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describe the behavior of materials in a magnetic field?
Ferromagnetic materials exhibit strong magnetization and retain magnetic properties after the external field is removed.
Diamagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnetic fields and can retain magnetization.
Paramagnetic materials have weak magnetization that disappears in the absence of an external magnetic field.
All materials behave the same way in a magnetic field regardless of their magnetic properties.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Ferromagnetic materials do exhibit strong magnetization and have retentivity, meaning they can retain some magnetization after the external field is removed. Diamagnetic materials, on the other hand, are repelled by magnetic fields and do not retain magnetization.
