Magnetisation of a paramagnet increases when the temperature is:
ARaised sharply
BLeft unchanged
CLowered further
DMade exactly zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Lowered further
Lowering temperature reduces thermal randomising, so more dipoles align and magnetisation rises toward saturation.
