Arrange the following substances in the increasing order of magnetic susceptibility.

(A) Paramagnetic substances
(B) Superconductors
(C) Diamagnetic substances
(D) Ferromagnetic substances

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(B)<(C)<(A)<(D)

The correct answer is Option (2) → (B)<(C)<(A)<(D)

• Diamagnetic substances have negative magnetic susceptibility. $(X<0)$ and are repelled by Magnetic field.
• Paramagnetic substance has a small magnetic susceptibility $(X>0)$
• Ferromagnetic substance have a very large magnetic susceptibility $(X>>1)$, and they are strongly attracted to magnetic fields.
• Superconductor exhibits a perfect diamagnetism, with a susceptibility $(X=-1)$ which is larger in magnitude than the susceptibility of typical diamagnetic substances.
