  1. A 0
  2. B 1
  3. C \(-1\)
  4. D \(\infty\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A diamagnetic substance is characterized by the property of being repelled by a magnetic field. The magnetic susceptibility \(\chi\) is defined by the relation \(M = \chi H\), where \(M\) is the magnetization and \(H\) is the magnetic field intensity. For a perfectly diamagnetic…
