    A paramagnetic material is placed in a magnetic field. Consider the following statements:
    (A) If the magnetic field is increased, the magnetisation is increased.
    (B) If the temperature is increased, the magnetisation is increased.
    (a) A and B are true.
    (b) A is true but B is false.
    (c) B is true but A is false.
    (d) A and B are false.
    digAnsr:   b
    Ans : (b) A is true but B is false.
    if the magnetic field is increased, magnetisation of paramagnetic material placed in magnetic field is also increases. Hence, option
    (a) is correct.
    Magnetization (I) is given by,
    `` \stackrel{\to }{I}=\frac{\stackrel{\to }{M}}{V}``
    As the temperature is increased, magnetic moments of paramagnetic material becomes more randomly aligned due to incresed thermal motion. This leads decrease in the magnetization I. Hence, option
    (b) is incorrect.
