A paramagnetic substance has relative permeability that is:
ASlightly greater than 1
BSlightly less than 1
CMuch greater than 1
DExactly equal to zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Slightly greater than 1
Paramagnetic materials have mu_r between 1 and 1 plus a small positive number, so permeability slightly exceeds mu0.
