Magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is

  • A
    Large and positive
  • Correct answer
    B
    Small and positive
  • C
    Small and negative
  • D
    Large and negative

Solution

Key Idea For paramagnetic substance, the magnetic susceptibility is small and positive, because they get feebly magnetised when placed in a magnetic field.
The magnetic susceptibility of a substance shows how easily a substance can be magnetised and given by χm=lH
Where, l = intensity of magnetisation,
and H = magnetic intensity of the field

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
