Identify the false statement regarding magnetic properties of substance.
(A) Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted.
(B) Diamagnetic substances are weakly attracted.
(C) Ferromagnetic substances strongly attracted.
(D) Diamagnetic substance strongly attracted

  • A
    (A) and (C) only
  • B
    (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  • Correct answer
    C
    (B) and (D) only
  • D
    (A) and (B) only

Solution

Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted by a magnetic field.

Diamagnetic substances are weakly repelled by a magnetic field.

Ferromagnetic substances are strongly attracted by a magnetic field.

Statements (B) and (D) claim that diamagnetic substances are attracted, which is incorrect.

Therefore, statements (B) and (D) are false.

Answer: (B) and (D) only

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
