NEET2016PhysicsMagnetic Properties of MatterActual
The magnetic susceptibility is negative for:
Options
- Adiamagnetic material only
- Bparamagnetic material only
- Cferromagnetic material only
- Dparamagnetic and ferromagnetic materials
Correct answer
A. diamagnetic material only
Step-by-step solution
As we know the relation between the magnetic permeability and susceptibility of material is, μ r = 1 + χ m … ( i ) ∵ For diamagnetic substances, μ r < 1 So, according to Eq. (i), the magnetic susceptibility χ m of diamagnetic substance will be negative. While in case of para and ferromagnetic substances subsceptibility is positive.
