Question:
For which of the following is magnetic susceptibility negative?
For which of the following is magnetic susceptibility negative?
Show Hint
Diamagnetic substances always have negative susceptibility because they repel the external magnetic field.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Diamagnetic materials have a tendency to develop a magnetic moment opposite to the applied magnetic field.
Hence, their magnetic susceptibility (\( \chi \)) is negative.
On the other hand, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials have positive susceptibilities.
Hence, their magnetic susceptibility (\( \chi \)) is negative.
On the other hand, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials have positive susceptibilities.
