Relative Permeability of Lead: Can I Assume Value of 1?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The relative permeability of lead is approximately 1, specifically cited as 1-1.8x10^-5, which equates to 0.999982. This value indicates that lead's magnetic properties are nearly identical to that of a vacuum. Therefore, for practical applications, it is acceptable to assume the relative permeability of lead as 1.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic permeability concepts

Simply, all I want to know is the value of the relative permeability of lead??
Can I assume this value to 1??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Pretty much... according to hyperphysics 1-1.8x10^-5=0.999982
 
Thanks a lot
