The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Here, $H = 1600\, A\, m^{-1},$ Magnetic flux $\left(\phi\right)=2.4\times10^{-5}\,Wb$ $A=0.2\,cm^{2}=0.2\times10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ $\therefore B=\frac{\phi}{A}=\frac{2.4\times10^{-5}}{0.2\times10^{-4}}=1.2\,Wb\,m^{2}$ $\therefore \mu=\frac{B}{H}=\frac{1.2}{1600}=7.5\times10^{-4}\,N\,A^{-2}$ Hence, susceptibility $\chi=\frac{\mu}{\mu_{0}}-1=\frac{7.5\times10^{-4}}{4\pi\times10^{-7}}-1=596$

Magnetism & Matter

Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.

Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet.  Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.

Some of the properties of the magnetic field lines are:

  • The lines and continuous and outside the magnet, the field lines originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole
  • They form closed loops traversing inside the magnet. 
  • But here the lines seem to originate from the South pole and terminate at the North pole to form closed loops.
  • More number of close lines indicate a stronger magnetic field
  • The lines do not intersect each other
  • The tangent drawn at the field line gives the direction of the field at that point.
