Magnetic properties of matter
Question

The percentage increase in the magnetic field B when the space within a current carrying toroid is filled with aluminium, with a susceptibility  of 2.1×10-5, is 2.1 × 10-p. Find p.

Moderate
Solution

In the absence of aluminium the magnetic field is  B0=μ0H.As the space inside the toroid is filled with aluminium the field becomes

 B=μH=μ0(1+χ)H

The increase in the field is  B-B0=μ0χH
The percentage increase is  B-B0B×100=μ0χHμ0H×100 =  χ×100=2.1×10-3 χ=2.1×10-5

By comparison, p=3
