Assertion (A): The product of magnetic susceptibility and absolute temperature of a paramagnetic substance is a constant.
Reason (R): Paramagnetic substances obey Curie's law.
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false
Solution:
Curie's law states that for paramagnetic substances, magnetic susceptibility (chi) is inversely proportional to absolute temperature (T), i.e., (chi = C/T). This implies (chi T = C), a constant. So Reason (R) directly explains Assertion (A).
