Frequently Asked Questions
What is magnetic susceptibility?
Magnetic susceptibility is a dimensionless quantity that measures how much a material becomes magnetized when placed in a magnetic field. It’s defined as the ratio of magnetization to the applied magnetic field strength.
Why are there different forms of susceptibility?
Volume susceptibility is dimensionless and most common. Mass susceptibility (per unit mass) is useful for comparing materials of different densities. Molar susceptibility (per mole) is important in chemistry for understanding atomic and molecular magnetic properties.
What’s the difference between SI and CGS-emu units?
SI uses rationalized units where volume susceptibility is dimensionless. CGS-emu uses unrationalized units. The conversion factor is 4π × 10⁻⁶, meaning 1 SI unit = 79,577.47 CGS-emu units.
When do I need material properties?
Density is required for conversions involving mass susceptibility. Molar mass is needed for molar susceptibility conversions. Volume susceptibility conversions don’t require additional properties.
What are typical susceptibility values?
Diamagnetic materials: -10⁻⁶ to -10⁻⁴ (negative values). Paramagnetic materials: +10⁻⁶ to +10⁻² (positive values). Ferromagnetic materials can have values much greater than 1.
