Practice question

**Diamagnetism** exhibits small negative susceptibility χ ≈ -10⁻⁵ to -10⁻⁶, weakly repelled from stronger to weaker field regions, no permanent moment, induced moment opposite to B, present in all materials but dominated by other effects. Superconductor perfect diamagnet with χ = -1, complete field expulsion. M = chi H . Given: chi = 5 × 10⁻⁴ , H = 2 × 10³ A m⁻¹ . Substitute: M = 5 × 10⁻⁴ × 2 × 10³ = 1 A m⁻¹ . Substituting values gives 1 A m⁻¹, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
