Magnetic Susceptibility of Ferromagnetic Material – Rankers Physics

Magnetic Properties of Matter: Practice Problem & Solution

The relative permeability of a ferromagnetic material is 5999. Its magnetic susceptibility is
6000
\[6000 × 10^{–7}\]
5998
\[5.999 × 10^7\]

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Magnetic Properties of Matter. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The relationship is \(\mu_r = 1 + \chi_m ⇒\chi_m = \mu_r - 1 = 5999 - 1 = 5998\).
