Question:

A paramagnetic substance in the form of a cube with sides $1\, cm$ has a magnetic dipole moment of $20 \times 10^{-6} \; J/T$ when a magnetic intensity of $60 \times 10^3 \; A/m$ is applied. Its magnetic susceptibility is :

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\chi = \frac{I}{H} $
$ I = \frac{\text{Magnetic} \; \text{moment}}{\text{Volume}} $
$ I = \frac{20 \times10^{-6}}{10^{-6}} = 20 N /m^{2} $
$\chi = \frac{20}{60 \times10^{+3}} = \frac{1}{3} \times10^{-3} $
$ = 0.33 \times10^{-3} = 3.3 \times10^{-4} $

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.
