Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s).

The magnetic susceptibility of a substance is defined as the measure of how readily it responds to an external magnetic field. It gives the measure of a substance's aptness to acquire magnetism. It has no units. Mathematically, it is defined as the ratio of the intensity of magnetization to the magnetic intensity. The susceptibility of a substance is given as (2.7 x 10-5). 

What is the magnetic permeability of the substance?

Options:

13 x 10-12 2

1.3 x 102

13 x 10-7

1.3 x 107

Correct Answer:

13 x 10-7

Explanation:

μ = μo μ= μ(1 + X)

X = 2.7 x 10-5

μο = 4π x 10-7

μ = 12.5 x 10-7
