When a certain material is cooled below its critical temperature, it exhibits the Meissner effect and completely expels all magnetic field lines from its interior, acting as a perfect diamagnet.
What are the exact values of the magnetic susceptibility () and relative permeability () for this material in this state?
What are the exact values of the magnetic susceptibility () and relative permeability () for this material in this state?
Options
- A,
- B,
- C,
- D,
Correct answer
A. ,
Step-by-step solution
For a material exhibiting the Meissner effect (a perfect diamagnet), the magnetic field inside the material is exactly zero ().
The magnetic induction is given by . Since and the external field , the relative permeability must be zero ().
Using the relation between relative permeability and magnetic susceptibility, .
Substituting , we get .
Thus, the magnetic susceptibility is and the relative permeability is .
