The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about relative magnetic permeability (μ_r) is not correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Relative Magnetic Permeability (μ_r)**: - Relative magnetic permeability (μ_r) is defined as the ratio of the permeability of a material (μ) to the permeability of free space (μ₀). - Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ μ_r = \frac{μ}{μ₀} \] - Since both μ and μ₀ have the same units (H/m or N/A²), μ_r is a dimensionless quantity. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Relative magnetic permeability (μ_r) is a dimensionless pure ratio." - This is correct because μ_r is defined as a ratio of two quantities with the same dimensions. - **Option 2**: "For vacuum medium, its value is 1." - This is also correct because in a vacuum, the permeability of the medium (μ) is equal to the permeability of free space (μ₀), thus: \[ μ_r = \frac{μ₀}{μ₀} = 1 \] - **Option 3**: "For ferromagnetic materials, μ_r is much more than 1." - This statement is correct. Ferromagnetic materials have a relative permeability significantly greater than 1 due to their ability to be magnetized. - **Option 4**: "For paramagnetic materials, μ_r is much more than 1." - This statement is incorrect. For paramagnetic materials, μ_r is slightly greater than 1, but not "much more." This is a key distinction as it misrepresents the behavior of paramagnetic materials. 3. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not correct is **Option 4**: "For paramagnetic materials, μ_r is much more than 1." ### Final Answer: The option that is not correct about relative magnetic permeability (μ_r) is **Option 4**. ---
