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.
