Homework Statement
How large externally applied magnetic filed ([itex]B_{0}[/itex]) is necessary in otder for 51% of the metal ions in CuSO([itex]_{4}[/itex]) to have their magnetic moments oriented in the same direction as the applied field when the salt is kep at room temperature?
Homework Equations
[itex]B=\mu_{0}(H+M)[/itex]
[itex]\chi=\frac{N}{V}\frac{(p\mu_{B})^{2}\mu_{0}}{3k_{B}T}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
rearanging the relation
As i understand it i want
[itex]M=0,51H[/itex]
then, using
[itex]\chi B_{0}=\mu_{0}M[/itex]
i find that
[itex]\chi=0,51[/itex]
But [itex]\chi[/itex] is, as i understand it, independent on applied magnetic field [itex]B_{0}[/itex] so this reasoning can't be right. However i fail to see what I'm missing.
