Magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is
- ALarge and positive
- Correct answerBSmall and positive
- CSmall and negative
- DLarge 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
Where, l = intensity of magnetisation,
and H = magnetic intensity of the field
