Magnetic Phenomenon and Parameters Quiz

What is the relationship between magnetization and magnetic field in terms of susceptibility?

M = χH

How is magnetic susceptibility related to relative permeability?

χ = μr-1

Describe the magnetic properties of diamagnets.

Diamagnets are very weak non-permanent magnets with magnetic susceptibility close to zero. They are attracted to weak sections of a magnetic field.
