5.23. A sample of paramagnetic salt contains atomic dipoles each of dipole moment The sample is placed under a homogeneous magnetic field of 0.64 T, and cooled to a temperature of 4.2 K. The degree of magnetic saturation achieved is equal to . What is the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of 0.98 T and a temperature of 2.8 K? (Assume Curie’s law)
Given,
Magnetic field, = 0.64 T
Temperature, = 4.2K
And, saturation = 15%
Hence, Effective dipole moment, = 15% of Total dipole moment
= 0.15 x (no. of atomic dipole × individual dipole moment)
= = 4.5
Now, Magnetic field, = 0.98 T and Temperature, = 2.8 K
Let be the new dipole moment.
We know that according to Curie’s Law,
∴ The ratio of magnetic dipole moments
Therefore, the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of 0.98 T and a temperature of 2.8 K = 10.336
