Negative magnetic susceptibility is exhibited by

Negative magnetic susceptibility is exhibited by

Options

  1. Aparamagnetic materials only
  2. Bferromagnetic materials only
  3. Cdiamagnetic materials only
  4. Dparamagnetic and ferromagnetic materials

Correct answer

C. diamagnetic materials only

Step-by-step solution

Magnetic susceptibility χ\chi is defined as the ratio of the intensity of magnetization MM to the magnetic intensity HH.

For diamagnetic materials, the induced magnetization is in the direction opposite to the applied magnetic field. Therefore, they have a small and negative magnetic susceptibility (−1≤χ<0-1 \le \chi < 0).

For paramagnetic materials, the susceptibility is small and positive (χ>0\chi > 0).

For ferromagnetic materials, the susceptibility is large and positive (χ≫1\chi \gg 1).

Thus, negative magnetic susceptibility is exhibited by diamagnetic materials only.
