Question
Answer the following questions:
Why does a paramagnetic sample display greater magnetisation (for the same magnetising field) when cooled?

Answer

Owing to therandorn thermal motion of rnolecules, the allqnments of dipoles get disrupted at high temperatures. on cooling, this disruption is reduced. Hence, a pararnaqnetlc sample displays greater magnetisation when cooled.
