Practice question
Question
Which material has \( \chi = -1 \) and completely expels magnetic field lines?
Explanation
**Elements of Earth's field** include declination D, inclination I, horizontal component B_H, total field B = √(B_H² + B_V²). B_H provides compass direction, declination varies with location, important for navigation, inclination 0° at magnetic equator, 90° at poles. Superconductors have chi = -1 and exhibit perfect diamagnetism, expelling all magnetic field lines (Meissner effect). Substituting values gives Superconductor, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
