Magnetic Susceptibility

Question

Diamagnetic materials have susceptibility that is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

Magnetic Susceptibility ($\chi$) represents how easily a material becomes magnetized.
- For Diamagnetic materials, an induced magnetic field opposes the external field (Lenz's Law effect in atomic orbits).
- Therefore, $\chi$ is **negative** (and very small, e.g., $\sim -10^{-5}$).
- These materials are independent of temperature (except some superconductors).
