Question Number. 17. An example of a paramagnetic material is.
Option A. silver.
Option B. iron.
Option C. glass.
Correct Answer is. iron.
Explanation. Iron is a paramagnetic (ferromagnetic actually), the other 2 are diamagnetics (LBP
notes are wrong about glass).
Question Number. 18. Vibration in a magnet causes.
Option A. flux to stay the same.
Option B. flux to decrease.
Option C. flux to increase.
Correct Answer is. flux to decrease.
Explanation. A good way to destroy a magnet is to drop it or subject it to high frequency
vibrations.
Question Number. 19. Permeability of a material can be found by.
Option A. flux density / MMF.
Option B. MMF * flux density.
Option C. MMF / flux density.
Correct Answer is. flux density / MMF.
Explanation. Permeability = B/H (Reluctance = H/B, similar to resistance R = V/I).
