Magnetic susceptibility for a paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials is respecti

Magnetic susceptibility for a paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials is respectively

  • A. small, positive and small, positive
  • B. large, positive and small, negative
  • C. small, positive and small, negative
  • D. large, negative and large, positive

Step-by-step solution

Paramagnetic materials have a small, positive magnetic susceptibility (typically 10^-5 to 10^-3). Diamagnetic materials have a small, negative magnetic susceptibility (typically -10^-6 to -10^-5). Thus, the correct pair is small positive for paramagnetic and small negative for diamagnetic.
