Materials having permeability largely greater than one are

Correct answer: C. Ferromagnetic

  • A. Diamagnetic
  • B. Paramagnetic
  • C. Ferromagnetic
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The correct answer is Ferromagnetic. Ferromagnetic materials have a permeability that is significantly greater than one, which means they can be strongly magnetised. This is due to the alignment of their internal magnetic domains in response to an external magnetic field. In contrast, diamagnetic materials have a permeability less than or equal to one and are repelled by magnetic fields, while paramagnetic materials have a permeability slightly greater than one and are weakly attracted by magnetic fields. The option None of these is incorrect because ferromagnetic materials fit the description given in the question.
