COMEDK · Physics · 20. Magnetic Properties of Matter

For a paramagnetic material, the dependence of the magnetic susceptibility \(\chi\) on the absolute temperature is given as

  1. A Independent of \(\mathrm{T}\)
  2. B \(X \propto\dfrac{1}{T}\)
  3. C \(X \propto T\)
  4. D \(X \propto \dfrac{1}{T^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(X \propto\dfrac{1}{T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Curie's Law, the magnetic susceptibility \(\chi\) of a paramagnetic material is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature \(T\). The mathematical expression for Curie's Law is given by \(\chi = \dfrac{C}{T}\), where \(C\) is the Curie constant. Therefore,…
