Loss of Magnetic Properties on Heating – Rankers Physics

Magnetic Properties of Matter: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): All magnetic materials lose their magnetic properties when strongly heated. Reason (R): Most of the substances show diamagnetism.  
(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Magnetic Properties of Matter. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials indeed lose their specific magnetic properties upon strong heating (e.g., ferromagnets become paramagnetic above Curie temperature). So, Assertion (A) is true. However, Reason (R) is false; while diamagnetism is a universal property, most substances exhibit paramagnetism (due to unpaired electrons) or ferromagnetism, which mask diamagnetism.
