Among which the magnetic susceptibility does not depend on the temperature : -
A
Diamagnetism
B
Paramagnetism
C
Ferromagnetism
D
Ferrite
The answer is A.
Solution
Diamagnetism arises from the orbital motion of electrons, induced by the applied field. It does not depend on the alignment of permanent dipoles, so it is almost independent of temperature. Paramagnetic susceptibility follows Curie's law, $\chi \propto \dfrac{1}{T}$. Ferromagnetic materials (and ferrites) depend strongly on temperature and become paramagnetic above the Curie temperature. So the magnetic susceptibility of a diamagnetic substance does not depend on temperature.
