Magnetic Materials & Curie Law

Relative permittivity and permeability of a material εr\varepsilon_r and μr,\mu_r, respectively. Which of the following values of these quantities are allowed for a diamagnetic material?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Diamagnetic: χ<0\chi < 0, so μr<1\mu_r < 1.
  2. For any material medium εr>1\varepsilon_r > 1 (vacuum has 1).
  3. Only εr=1.5\varepsilon_r = 1.5, μr=0.5\mu_r = 0.5 satisfies both.
  4. So the answer is (b).
