alleryParamagnetic substances get weakly attracted towards which region of a field?
AThe stationary region
BThe scattered region
CThe strong region
DThe straight region
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The strong region
1. A paramagnet magnetises along the applied field.
2. That alignment pulls it up the field gradient.
3. They tend to move from a region of weak magnetic field to strong magnetic field.
4. So they are drawn towards the strong region.
