Question

The figure gives the magnetization curve for a paramagnetic material. The vertical axis scale is set by a=0.15, and the horizontal axis scale is set by b=0.2 T/K. Let μsam be the measured net magnetic moment of a sample of the material and μmax be the maximum possible net magnetic moment of that sample.According to Curie’s law, what would be the ratio μsam/μmax were the sample placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.800 T, at a temperature of 2.00 K?

Solution

The section explains the terms used in this problem and the connection between M and μ. The graph in Figure gives a slope of
M/MmaxBext/T=0.150.20T/K=0.75K/T
Thus ,we can write
μμmax=(0.75K/T)0.800T2.00K=0.30
