How does magnetization of a magnetic depend from its form?

Welcome to the PF.

Are you asking how magnets work?

I now how magnets work. This question about para- and dia- magnetics. AFAIK [tex]\vec J = \chi \vec H[/tex] and J doesn't depend from magnetic's form. But I have this question in my examination task and I don't think the answer so simple.
