Do Paramagnetic Respond to Magnetic Field?

The unpaired electrons of paramagnetic atoms realign in response to external magnetic fields and are therefore attracted. Paramagnets do not retain magnetization in the absence of a magnetic field, because thermal energy randomizes electron spin orientations.

Does paramagnetic have a magnetic moment?

Paramagnetic materials possess a permanent magnetic dipole moment due to incomplete cancellation of electron spin and orbital magnetic moment. In absence of applied field the dipole moments are oriented randomly and therefore the material has no net macroscopic magnetization. ... There are two types of paramagnetism.

How does paramagnetic materials interact with an external magnetic field?

Materials which are slightly attracted to a magnet are called paramagnetic materials. When paramagnetic materials are placed in the strong external magnetic field, it gets weakly magnetized. Paramagnetic materials has more unpaired electrons, I.e.,the electron occupy the orbital of an atom singly rather than a pair.
