The dimensionless quantity relating magnetisation to magnetic intensity is the magnetic:
ASustainability
BServiceability
CSuitability
DSusceptibility
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Susceptibility
1. Magnetisation and magnetic intensity are proportional in simple materials.
2. The constant of proportionality carries no units.
3. That dimensionless quantity is appropriately called the magnetic susceptibility.
4. So the answer is susceptibility.
