Curie’s law states that the susceptibility of a paramagnet is ___ the absolute temperature:

Answer: inversely proportional to.

  • A inversely proportional to
  • B directly proportional to
  • C exactly equal to
  • D entirely unrelated to

Correct answer: A. inversely proportional to

Explanation: χ ∝ 1/T, so paramagnetic susceptibility falls as temperature rises.

Bar Magnet Field LinesNSfield lines: N → S (outside magnet)

Magnetic field lines form closed loops: outside the bar magnet they run from the N pole to the S pole; inside, they continue from S back to N, so the lines never start or end anywhere.

Concept context

Bar magnets, Earth's magnetism, and how different materials respond to an external magnetic field - diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic behaviour.
