A material has \( B = 0.42 \, \text{T} \) and \( M = 3.0 \times 10^5 \, \text{A m}^{-1} \). What is \( H \)? (Take \( \m
**Paramagnetism** has small positive χ ≈ 10⁻³ to 10⁻⁵, weakly attracted towards stronger field, random moments align partially with B, magnetization decreases with temperature following Curie law χ ∝ 1/T. Materials have unpaired electrons with permanent moments. B = μ₀ (H + M) , so H = (B/μ₀) - M . Given: B = 0.42 T , M = 3.0 × 10⁵ A m⁻¹ , μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ . (B/μ₀) = (0.42/4π × 10⁻⁷) ≈ 3.338 × 10⁵ A m⁻¹ . H = 3.338 × 10⁵ - 3.0 × 10⁵ = 3.38 × 10⁴ A m⁻¹ . Substituting values gives 3.38 × 10⁴
