The magnetic susceptibility is negative for (a) Paramagnetic materials (b) Diamagnetic materials (c) Ferromagnetic materials (d) Paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials

Short Answer

Expert verified
The magnetic susceptibility is negative (\(\chi < 0\)) for (b) Diamagnetic materials.

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic Susceptibility Definition and Relation to Magnetic Materials

Magnetic susceptibility (\(\chi\)) is a dimensionless quantity that indicates the degree of magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field. The magnetic susceptibilities of different materials are: 1. \(\chi > 0\) for paramagnetic materials 2. \(\chi < 0\) for diamagnetic materials 3. \(\chi >> 0\) for ferromagnetic materials
02

Identifying the Correct Answer

Based on the information about the magnetic susceptibilities of different materials above, the magnetic susceptibility is negative (\(\chi < 0\)) for diamagnetic materials. Thus, the correct answer is: (b) Diamagnetic materials
