Question

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for

• A. Paramagnetic materials only
• B. Diamagnetic material only
• C. Ferromagnetic materials only
• D. paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Diamagnetic material only

Given: Magnetic susceptibility=-ve

Solution: Magnetic susceptibility is the degree to which a material is magnetized.

Diamagnetic substance has negative susceptibility.

Negative magnetic susceptibility mean that the magnetization (M) is repelling in nature so they move from stronger to weaker region.

Hence the correct option is B
