An iron rod of susceptibility 599 is subjected to a magnetising field of $1200\ A\,m^{-1}$. The permeability of the material of the rod is: ($\mu_0=4\pi\times10^{-7}\ T\,m\,A^{-1}$)
A $8.0\times10^{-5}\ T\,m\,A^{-1}$
B $2.4\pi\times10^{-5}\ T\,m\,A^{-1}$
C $2.4\pi\times10^{-7}\ T\,m\,A^{-1}$
D $2.4\pi\times10^{-4}\ T\,m\,A^{-1}$

Detailed Solution

$\chi_m = 599 \Rightarrow \mu_r = 1 + \chi_m = 600$ $\mu = \mu_r\mu_0 = 600 \times 4\pi \times 10^{-7} = 2400\pi \times 10^{-7}$ $\mu = 2.4\pi \times 10^{-4}\ T\,m\,A^{-1}$
