Why should the permeability of a paramagnetic material be expected to decrease with increasing temperature?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The randomization of atomic magnetic moment due to increase thermal agitation leading to decrease in the permeability of the paramagnetic material.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of paramagnetic material

The term paramagnetic material may be defined as the material when placed in magnetic field they get weakly magnetized in the direction of magnetizing field.

02

Explain the permeability of a paramagnetic material be expected to decrease with increasing temperature

For a paramagnetic material the atomic magnetic moment aligned themselves parallel to the external magnetic field which opposed by random thermal motion, for this reason the paramagnetic material be expected to decrease with increasing temperature.

Hence,the randomization of atomic magnetic moment due to increase thermal agitation leading to decrease in the permeability of the paramagnetic material.

An electron moves at 1.40×106m/sthrough a regionin which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.40×10-2T. (a) What are the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field? (b) If the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude in part (a), what is the angle
between the electron velocity and the magnetic field?

An 18-gauge copper wire (diameter 1.02 mm) carries a current

with a current density of 3.2×106Am2. The density of free electrons for

copper is8.5×1028electrons per cubic meter. Calculate (a) the current in

the wire and (b) the drift velocity of electrons in the wire.

CALC The region between two concentric conducting spheres with radii and is filled with a conducting material with resistivity ρ. (a) Show that the resistance between the spheres is given by

R=ρ4π(1a-1b)

(b) Derive an expression for the current density as a function of radius, in terms of the potential differenceVab between the spheres. (c) Show that the result in part (a) reduces to Eq. (25.10) when the separation L=b-abetween the spheres is small.

In an L-R-C series circuit, what criteria could be used to decide whether the system is over damped or underdamped? For example, could we compare the maximum energy stored during one cycle to the energy dissipated during one cycle? Explain.

In the circuit, in Fig. E26.47 the capacitors are initially uncharged, the battery has no internal resistance, and the ammeter is idealized. Find the ammeter reading (a) just after the switch S is closed and (b) after S has been closed for a very long time.
