Question:

The magnetic susceptibility of a material is found to be (-1.7 x 10-6). What is the material possibly?

Options:

Ferromagnetic

Diamagnetic

Antiferromagnetic

Paramagnetic

Correct Answer:

Diamagnetic

Explanation:

The diamagnetic effect occurs in all materials, it is too weak as compared with other magnetic effects in magnetic materials.

diamagnetic materials have a small negative magnetic susceptibility (χ) 

For diamagnetic material, -1 < Xdia < 0
