Magnetic Materials & Curie Law

An example of a perfect diamagnet is a superconductor. This implies that when a superconductor is put in a magnetic field of intensity B, the magnetic field Bs inside the superconductor will be such that:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Perfect diamagnet: χ=−1\chi = -1, so μr=1+χ=0\mu_r = 1 + \chi = 0.
  2. Bs=μ0μrH=0B_s = \mu_0\mu_r H = 0: the field is completely expelled (Meissner effect).
  3. So the answer is (b) Bs=0B_s = 0.
