Question

When a small magnetic field \( H \) is applied to a magnetic material, the intensity of magnetization is proportional to:

• A. \( H^{-2} \)
• B. \( H^{1/2} \)
• C. \( H \)
• D. \( H^2 \)

Hint:

In paramagnetic materials, magnetization is directly proportional to the applied magnetic field.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The intensity of magnetization \( M \) in a paramagnetic material is given by:
\[ M = \chi H \] where \( \chi \) is the magnetic susceptibility. For small fields, magnetization is directly proportional to \( H \).
