Given below are two statements: Statement I : The diamagnetic property depends on temperature. Statement II : The induced magnetic dipole moment in a diamagnetic sample is always opposite to the magnetizing field. In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is false
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer: Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true

Solution

Statement I is incorrect because the diamagnetic property is not significantly affected by temperature; it is a fundamental characteristic of materials. Statement II is true as diamagnetic materials always develop an induced magnetic moment that opposes the applied magnetic field.
