Correct Answer - Option 1 : Material X is diamagnetic and Y paramagnetic.

Explanation:

Material

Magnetic Susceptibility (X)

Relative Permeability

(K= 1 + Xm)

Magnetic Permeability

m = Kmμ0)

Diamagnetic

-10-5 to -10-9

< 1

μm < μ0

Paramagnetic

10-5 to 10-3

> 1

μm > μ0

Ferromagnetic

≫ 1

≫ 1

μ μ0

 

From the above table, we can consider that material X is diamagnetic and material Y is paramagnetic.

Paramagnetic Substances: The substances which are weakly magnetized when placed in an external magnetic field, in the same direction of the applied field are called paramagnetic substances.

Example: Sodium, aluminum, calcium, manganese, platinum

Properties:

  • These substances are attracted by a magnet
  • Atomic orbitals of these substances are partially filled
  • It develops weak magnetization in the direction of the applied magnetic field
  • After removing the magnetizing field, it loses its magnetization
  • When placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, it tends to move from weaker to stronger regions of the magnetic field
  • When placed in a uniform magnetic field, it aligns itself in the direction of the magnetic field
  • Magnetic susceptibility is a small positive value
  • Relative permeability is close to one and always greater than 1
  • Magnetic permeability is slightly more compared to free space
