Which of the following is true regarding dimagnetic substances (symbols have their usual meaning)
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Relative magnetic permeability of diamagnetic substances is always less than unity.
i.e.
\left(1+\chi_m\right)\mu_r < 1, \chi_m is negative.
Hence, susceptibility of diamagnetic substances has a small negative value.
