Magnetic Properties and Heating

Assertion (A): The properties of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances are not affected by heating.
Reason (R): As temperature changes, the alignment of molecular magnets does not change.
 
(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

Solution:

The magnetic properties of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances are strongly affected by temperature. Paramagnetic susceptibility is temperature-dependent (Curie's Law), and ferromagnets become paramagnets above their Curie temperature. Thermal agitation due to heating disorients molecular magnets. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
