Question

Explain Curie's law for a paramagnetic substance.

Open in App
Solution

Curie law states that magnetization of paramagnetic substance is directly proportional to the external magnetic field applied. But as the substance is heated, it's magnetization is inversely proportional to the temperature of substance.
Thus magnetization of paramagnetic substance M=CBT
where C is curie constant, B is external magnetic field and T is the temperature of substance.
