Magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is

  1. A Large and positive
  2. B Small and positive
  3. C Small and negative
  4. D Large and negative
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Small and positive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Key Idea For paramagnetic substance, the magnetic susceptibility is small and positive, because they get feebly magnetised when placed in a magnetic field.
The magnetic susceptibility of a substance shows how easily a substance can be magnetised and given by χm=lH
Where, l = intensity of magnetisation,
and H = magnetic intensity of the field
