SUMMARY

The calculation of magnetic susceptibility using Curie's Law is defined by the equation M = χ/T, where M represents total magnetization, χ is susceptibility, and T is temperature. The discussion emphasizes the need to express the answer in terms of the magnetic field Bo. Additionally, it highlights that susceptibility can also be derived as the partial derivative of magnetization with respect to the magnetic field. This establishes a clear framework for calculating magnetic susceptibility in various contexts.

How do we calculate susceptibility X.

Noting that the curie equation is M = x/T, where M is the total magnetization.

We must express the anser is terms of y and the magnetic field Bo.

Could I please have contributions to solutions, references and formulas that may be required to solve this question?

Thank You
