Multiple choice physics magnetism and matter magnetic materials behaviour of substances in magnetic field classification of magnetic materials

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for

  1. Paramagnetic materials only

  2. Diamagnetic material only

  3. Ferromagnetic materials only

  4. paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Magnetic susceptibility is defined as the ratio of magnetization to the magnetic field intensity. For diamagnetic materials, the induced magnetization is in the opposite direction to the applied field, resulting in negative susceptibility.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Diamagnetic           Paramagnetic             Ferromagnetic
-1 $\leq$ $\chi$ < 0                  0 < $\chi$ < $\varepsilon$                  $\chi$ >> 1
0 $\leq$ $\mu _{r}$ < 1                1 < $\mu _{r}$ < 1+ $\varepsilon$               $\mu _{r}$ >> 1
$\chi$ $=$ magnetic susceptibility
$\mu _{r}$ $=$ relative permeability.
$\varepsilon$ < 1 and small.
