a. Relative permeability is less than one.
b. Magnetic susceptibility is negative and low.
c. Magnetic susceptibility does not depend on the temperature.
d. Magnetic susceptibility is positive and low.
a. Relative permeability is less than one.
b. Magnetic susceptibility is negative and low.
c. Magnetic susceptibility does not depend on the temperature.
d. Magnetic susceptibility is positive and low.
Options
- Ad
- Ba
- Cc
- Db
Correct answer
A. d
Step-by-step solution
For diamagnetic materials, the magnetic susceptibility () is small and negative. This implies statement b is correct and statement d is incorrect.
The relative permeability () is related to susceptibility by . Since is small and negative, is slightly less than . This implies statement a is correct.
Diamagnetism arises due to the inherent orbital motion of electrons in atoms and is practically unaffected by the thermal agitation. Therefore, the magnetic susceptibility of diamagnetic materials is independent of temperature. This implies statement c is correct.
Thus, the only incorrect statement is d, which corresponds to option 1.
