    Substances in which the magnetic moment of a single atom is not zero, is known as                        [AFMC 1999]

    A)            Diamagnetism                     

    B)            Ferromagnetism

    C)            Paramagnetism                  

    D)            Ferrimagnetism

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               The property of paramagnetism is found in these substances whose atoms have an excess of electrons spinning in the same direction. Hence atoms of paramagnetic substances have a net non-zero magnetic moment of their own.
