Which, among the following, have negative susceptibility?(a) Diamagnetic(b) Paramagnetic(c) Ferromagnetic(d) Not a magnetic substanceThis question was addressed to me in semester exam.Question is from Permeability of Free Space or Magnetic Constant in chapter Simple Magnetic Circuits of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) DIAMAGNETIC

To explain I would say: MAGNETIC susceptibility is the degree of magnetisation of a material in response to the external magnetic field. Diamagnetic SUBSTANCES repel the magnetic field and hence have NEGATIVE susceptibility.
