A sample of paramagnetic salt contains 2.0xx 10^(24) atomic dipoles each of dipole moment 1.5 xx 10^(-23) J T^(-1). The sample is placed under a homogeneous magnetic field of 0.64 T, and cooled to a temperature of 4.2 K. The degree of magnetic saturation achieved is equal to 15%. What is the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of 0.98 T and a temperature of 2.8 K ? (Assume Curie's law)

Solution :INDUCED MAGNETIC DIPOLE moment obtained in a given paramagnetic sample of volume V at temperature `T_1` is,
`(m_b)_(1) = 15%` of `(m_b)_("max")`
`= 15%` of `Nm`
`= (2 xx 10^(24) ) (1.5 xx 10^(-23) ) ((15)/( 100))`
`= 4.5 Am^(2) ""...(1)`
`M= (m_b)/( V) = ("total induced dipole moment")/("total volume")`
`therefore (M_1)/( M_2) = ((m_b)_(1) ) /( V)xx (V)/( (m_b)_(2) )= ((m_b)_(1) )/( (mb)_(2) ) ""...(2)`
Magnetisation obtained is given by Curie.s law,
`M= C(B)/( T)` (Where `C=` Curie.s constant)
`rArr M prop (B)/(T)`
`therefore (M_1)/( M_2) = (B_1)/( B_2) xx (T_2)/( T_1) `
`therefore ((m_b)_(1) )/( (m_b)_(2) ) = (B_1 )/( B_2) xx (T_2)/( T_1)`
`therefore (m_b)_(2) = (m_b)_(1) xx (B_2)/(B_1) xx (T_1)/( T_2)`
`therefore (m_b)_(2) = 4.5 xx (0.98)/( 0.84) xx(4.2)/(2.8) = 7.875 "Am"^*(-1)` (or `JT^(-1)` )
