Define magneticsusceptibilityof a material. Name two elements, one having positive susceptibilityand the other having negative susceptibility . What does negative susceptibility signify ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Magnetic susceptibility : Magnetic susceptibility of a material is defined as the ratio of the INTENSITY of MAGNETISATION (I) induced in the material to the magnetisation force (H) applied on it.
Magneticsusceptibility is represented by `X_(m)=(I)/(H)`.
`Diamagnetic substances like copper, lead etc. has NEGATIVE susceptibility.
Paramagnetic substances like ALUMINIUM, calcium etc. has positive susceptibility.
Negative susceptibilityof diamagnetic substance does not change with temperature.
