A paramagnetic material has susceptibility 1.2 × 10-5 at 300 K. Assuming Curie's law, if its susceptibility at 200 K is x × 10-6, find x.
Q158.AI-generated practiceNumerical valueHard
In a magnetising field H = 2000 A/m, a material acquires a magnetisation M = 8 × 105 A/m. Find its relative permeability.
Q159.AI-generated practiceAssertion–ReasonMedium
Assertion (A): Soft iron is used to make the core of an electromagnet. Reason (R): Soft iron has low retentivity and low coercivity, so it is easily magnetised and demagnetised.
Q160.AI-generated practiceAssertion–ReasonHard
Assertion (A): The susceptibility of a diamagnetic substance is almost independent of temperature. Reason (R): Diamagnetism arises from the alignment of permanent atomic magnetic moments along the applied field.
