Question

For which type of magnetic material is susceptibility approximately independent of temperature?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Diamagnetism is caused mainly by induced orbital currents, not by statistical alignment of permanent dipoles. Step 2: The susceptibility is generally small and nearly independent of temperature in the ideal introductory approximation. Step 3: Therefore the correct material is diamagnetic. Answer A. Final answer: (A) Diamagnetic.
