MCQ
Which among the following is true about magnetic susceptibility?
  • A
    It is the ratio of magnetic intensity to intensity of magnetization.
  • B
    The SI unit of magnetic susceptibility is Tesla (T).
  • C
    It is the ratio of intensity of magnetization to magnetic intensity.
  • D
    It is the ratio of magnetic moment to volume.

Answer

  1. It is the ratio of intensity of magnetization to magnetic intensity.

Explanation:

Magnetic susceptibility of a magnetic substance is defined as the ratio of the intensity of magnetization (I) to the magnetic intensity (H). The expression is given by:

$\text{Xm}=\frac{\text{I}}{\text{H}}$

Magnetic susceptibility measures the aptness of a magnetic substance to acquire magnetism. It is a unit less constant of magnetic substance.
