The relative magnetic permeability of diamagnetic substances is always:

  1. A less than 1
  2. B equal to 1
  3. C greater than 1
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) less than 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Diamagnetic substances develop a weak magnetization in a direction opposite to the applied magnetic field. This means their magnetic susceptibility ( \(\chi_m\) ) is a small negative value. Since relative permeability is calculated as \(\mu_r=1+\chi_{m^{\prime}}\) the resulting…
