Is the permeability of a ferromagnetic material independent of the magnetic field ? If not, is it more for lower or higher fields ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, it is evident from the magnetization curve that the intensity of magnetization `I_m` is dependent on the magnetic field intensity H and susceptibility `chi` (on which depends magnetic permeabilility `mu` ). Also, from the slope of the magnetization curve, it is clear that `mu` is greater for lower fields.

Answer the following questions: (a) Why does a paramagnetic sample display greater magnetization (for the same magnetizing field) when cooled. (b) Why is diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature? (c) If a toroid uses bismuth for its core, will the field in the core be (slightly) greater or (slightly) less than when the core is empty? (d) Is the permeability of a ferromagnetic material independent of the magnetic field? If not, is it more for lower or higher fields? (e) Magnetic field lines are always nearly normal to the surface of a ferromagnet at every point (This fact is analogous to the static electric field lines being normal to the surface of a conductor at every point). Why? (f) Would the maximum possible magnetization of a paramagnetic sample be of the same order of magnitude as the magnetization of a ferromagnet?
