Question:

A paramagnetic substance of susceptibility $ 3\times {{10}^{-4}} $ is placed in a magnetic field of $ 4\times {{10}^{-4}}A{{m}^{-1}} $ . Then the intensity of .magnetization in the units of $ A{{m}^{-1}} $ is

  • $ 1.33\times {{10}^{8}} $
  • $ 0.75\times {{10}^{-8}} $
  • $ 12\times {{10}^{-8}} $
  • $ 14\times {{10}^{-8}} $

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Susceptibility $ (\chi ) $ $ =\frac{intensity\text{ }of\text{ }magnetisation(I)}{magnetic\text{ }field(B)} $
or $ I=\chi B $
$ \therefore $ $ I=3\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 4\times {{10}^{-4}} $
or $ I=12\times {{10}^{-8}}A{{m}^{-1}} $

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.
