Question

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for _____________ .

Options

• paramagnetic materials only

• diamagnetic materials only

• ferromagnetic materials only

• paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials

Answer 1

diamagnetic materials only

 

Magnetic susceptibility is defined as the ratio of the intensity of magnetisation induced in the material to magnetising foorce applied on it.

Magnetic susceptibility is negative for diamagnetic materials. Magnetic susceptibility is positive for paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials.
