Magnetic Susceptibility — Curie's LawHardQuestion 20212

Question

Curie's law for paramagnetic materials states that susceptibility χ is proportional to:
  1. A
    Temperature
  2. B
    1/Temperature
    Correct
  3. C
    Temperature²
  4. D
    B²

Correct answer

1/Temperature

Explanation

Curie's law: χ = C/T where C is the Curie constant and T is absolute temperature. Susceptibility decreases as temperature increases because thermal agitation opposes alignment.
