CONCEPT:

  • The magnitude of the internal polarization (J) divided by the strength of the external field (B) is called Magnetic susceptibility.
  • It is denoted by Greek letter chi (χ).
  • Based on magnetic property materials are of 4 types:
  1. Diamagnetic
  2. Paramagnetic
  3. Superparamagnetic
  4. Ferromagnetic


EXPLANATION:

  • Below table shows Magnetic Susceptibility χ for different materials:
     

Material

Magnetic Susceptibility

Examples

Diamagnetic

-10

Water, Most biological substances

Paramagnetic

+1

Molecular O2, Simple salts

Ferromagnetic

high value

Iron, Steel

 

  • Given that magnetic material is 400.
  • This is a higher value. Comparing to the values in the table the material will be Ferromagnetic.
  • So, the answer will be option 3.

Important Points

The susceptibility of ferromagnetic material is Large and positive. Ferromagnetic materials follow the Curie – Weiss law. When ferromagnetic substance heated above Curie temperature (Tc)

\(i.e.\chi \propto \frac{1}{{T - {T_C}}}\)
