ASSERTION AND REASONING

[Link] :- Poles of a magnet can never be separated.

Reason :- Since each atom of a magnetic material is a magnet in itself.

[Link] :- Magnetic moment is a vector quantity, whose direction inside the magnet is, from South
to North.
Reason :- Magnetic lines of force emanate from N-pole and enter into the S-pole.

16. Assertion :- An atom of a magnetic material behaves as a dipole because of positive charge on the
nucleus.
Reason :- Charge is responsible for dipole moment.

[Link] :- The magnetic moment (u) of an electron revolving around the nucleus decreases with
increasing principal quantum number (n).
Reason :- Magnetic moment of the revolving electron, μ n.

18. Assertion :- Above Curie temperature, a ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic.

Reason :- When a magnetic material is heated to very high temperature, it loses its magnetic
properties.
