Magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is
Options
- ALarge and positive
- BSmall and positive
- CSmall and negative
- DLarge and negative
Correct answer
B. Small and positive
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea For paramagnetic substance, the magnetic susceptibility is small and positive, because they get feebly magnetised when placed in a magnetic field. The magnetic susceptibility of a substance shows how easily a substance can be magnetised and given by χ m = l H Where, l = intensity of magnetisation, and H = magnetic intensity of the field
