Question

Reason
Every atom of a diamagnetic material is not a complete magnet in itself.
Assertion
The susceptibility of diamagnetic materials does not depend upon temperature.

A
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
B
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
C
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
D
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Diamagnetism is non-cooperative behaviour of orbiting electrons when exposed to an applied magnetic field. Diamagnetic substance are composed of atom which have no net magnetic moment (i.e., all the orbital shells are filled and there are no unpaired electrons). When exposed to a field, a negative magnetization is produced and thus the susceptibility is negative
Behaviour of diamagnetic material is that the susceptibility is temperature independent.
