Magnetic susceptibility and relative permeability

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The derivation of the magnetic susceptibility formula, χm = μr - 1, is established through the relationships between magnetization (M), magnetic field (H), and relative permeability (μr). The relevant equations include M = χmH, μ = μrμ0, and B = μH, where B represents the magnetic flux density. By substituting M into the equation for B and factoring, the relationship is confirmed, demonstrating the connection between magnetic susceptibility and relative permeability.

Hello Marwa,

Welcome to Physics Forums! :smile:

For convenience, I've retyped in your problem.

Derive the formula,
\chi_m = \mu_r - 1

Relevant equations:
\mathrm{\textbf{M}} = \chi_m \mathrm{\textbf{H}}
\mu = \mu_r \mu_0
I'm pretty sure you will need one or two more relevant equations.
Can you find any relevant equations that relate to the magnetic field, \mathrm{\textbf{B}}?

Relevant equations:
β=μH

βo=μoH

μr=μ/μo

β = μoH+ μoM

M=Xm.H

β = μoH+ μoM

M=Xm.H

Okay, with these relevant equations,
\mathrm{\textbf{M}} = \chi_m \mathrm{\textbf{H}}
\mu = \mu_r \mu_0
\mathrm{\textbf{B}} = \mu \mathrm{\textbf{H}}
\mathrm{\textbf{B}} = \mu_0 \left( \mathrm{\textbf{H}} +\mathrm{\textbf{M}} \right)
you have enough to show that
\chi_m = \mu_r - 1.
What have you tried so far?
 
I have tried :

M=Xm.H
Xm=M/H
Xm=Mμ/B
as H=B/μ
and B=μo(H+M)
Xm=(M.μ)/μo(H+M)
so Xm=μr.M/(H+M)

Try substituting
M = χmH
into
B=μ0(H+M)​
Then factor the H.

I got it:

B=μo(H+M)
and M=XmH
B=μo(H+XmH)
B=μoH(1+Xm)
so μH=μoH(1+Xm)
μ/μo=μr
Xm=1-μr

Thank you.
