Explanation

**Relation between B, H, M** is B = μ₀(H+M) = μ₀(1+χ)H. Susceptibility χ = μ_r -1 quantifies material response. Given B, μ_r, n, current I = B/(μ₀ μ_r n), with μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷ T·m/A, enabling current calculation for desired B with magnetic core. Paramagnetic materials have a small positive chi and align weakly with an external magnetic field due to the alignment of atomic dipoles. Substituting values gives Paramagnetic, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
