An iron rod of susceptibility 599 is subjected to a magnetizing field of 1200 A m−1. The permeability of the material of the rod is: (μ0=4π×10−7 T m A−1)
A
8.0×10−5 T m A−1
B
2.4π×10−5 T m A−1
C
2.4π×10−7 T m A−1
D
2.4π×10−4 T m A−1
Step-by-Step Solution
Concept: The magnetic permeability (μ) of a material is related to its magnetic susceptibility (χ) and the permeability of free space (μ0).
Formula:
The relative permeability is given by μr=1+χ.
The absolute permeability is given by μ=μ0μr=μ0(1+χ).
Given Data:
Susceptibility, χ=599.
Permeability of free space, μ0=4π×10−7 T m A−1.
Magnetizing field H=1200 A m−1 (This data is extra and not required to find permeability).
Calculation:μr=1+599=600μ=4π×10−7×600μ=2400π×10−7μ=2.4π×10−4 T m A−1
