The susceptibility of a magnetic material is 0 · 9853 . Identify the type of magnetic material. Draw the modification of the field pattern on keeping a piece of this material in a uniform magnetic field.

We are given that the susceptibility of a magnetic material, χ = 0 · 9853 The susceptibility of paramagnetic materials lies within the range of 0 < χ < 1 The susceptibility of the given material is small and positive. Thus, the given material is paramagnetic. When a piece of paramagnetic material is placed in a magnetising field, the magnetic field lines pass through the material rather than through the air. The field pattern around the paramagnetic material kept in a uniform magnetic field is given below:
