Answer the following questions: (a) Why does a paramagnetic sample display greater magnetisation (for the same magnetising field) when cooled? (b) Why is diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature? (c) If a toroid uses bismuth for its core, will the field in the core be (slightly) greater or (slightly) less than when the core is empty? (d) Is the permeability of a ferromagnetic material independent of the magnetic field? If not, is it more for lower or higher fields? (e) Magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet at every point. (This fact is analogous to the static electric field lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point.) Why? (f ) Would the maximum possible magnetisation of a paramagnetic sample be of the same order of magnitude as the magnetization of a ferromagnet?

Answer the
following questions:



(a) Why does a
paramagnetic sample display greater magnetisation (for the same
magnetising field) when cooled?



(b) Why is
diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature?



(c) If a toroid
uses bismuth for its core, will the field in the core be (slightly)
greater or (slightly) less than when the core is empty?



(d) Is the
permeability of a ferromagnetic material independent of the magnetic
field? If not, is it more for lower or higher fields?



(e) Magnetic
field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet
at every point. (This fact is analogous to the static electric field
lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point.)
Why?



(f ) Would the
maximum possible magnetisation of a paramagnetic sample be of the
same order of magnitude as the magnetization of a ferromagnet?
