MCQ
In a permanent magnet at room temperature
  • A
    Magnetic moment of each molecule is zero
  • B
    The individual molecules have non-zero magnetic moment which are all perfectly aligned
  • C
    Domains are partially aligned
  • Domains are all perfectly aligned

Answer

Correct option: D.
Domains are all perfectly aligned
d
As we know a permanent magnet is a substance which at room temperature retain ferromagnetic property for a long period of time. The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a dipole moment as in a paramagnetic material. However, they interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves in a common direction over a macroscopic volume called domain. Thus, we can say that in a permanent magnet at room temperature, domains are all perfectly aligned.
