Questions and Answers

What is the primary source of atomic magnetism?

  • The motion of the positively charged nucleus.
  • The combined effect of proton and neutron spins.
  • The orbital motion and spin of electrons. (correct)
  • The spinning motion of nuclei within the atom.
  • What best describes a magnetic domain?

  • A single atom with a strong magnetic field.
  • A group of approximately $10^{6}$ atoms with randomly oriented magnetic fields.
  • A region in a material where atomic nuclei are aligned.
  • A group of approximately $10^{12}$ atoms with aligned magnetic fields. (correct)
  • What happens to the magnetic domains within a material when it is exposed to an external magnetic field?

  • They become smaller and more randomly oriented.
  • They remain unchanged and unaffected by the external field.
  • They align themselves with the external magnetic field. (correct)
  • They dissolve and the material loses its magnetic properties.
