Magnetic Properties

Question

The magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic material strictly depends on temperature T as:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

1. **Curie's Law**: For paramagnetic materials, the magnetic susceptibility ($\chi$) is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature ($T$).
2. **Formula**: $\chi = \frac{C}{T}$, where $C$ is the Curie constant.
3. **Physical Context**: High temperature increases thermal agitation, which prevents the alignment of atomic magnets with an external field, thereby reducing susceptibility.
4. **Note**: This law assumes the field is not too strong and the temperature is not too low (far from saturation).
