Magnetic field arises due to charges in motion. Can a system have magnetic moments even though its net charge is zero ?

Answer»

Solution :(e) Yes, it is quite POSSIBLE that a system with ZERO net CHARGE can have non-zero magnetic moment. For example (i) atom of a PARAMAGNETIC material (ii) DOMAIN of a ferromagnetic material and (iii) permanent magnet have zero net charge and yet they have non-zero magnetic moment.
