large and positive
Solution
- Paramagnetic substances are those which develop feeble magnetization in the direction of the magnetizing field.
- Such substances are feebly attracted by magnets and tend to move from weaker to stronger parts of a magnetic field.
- Magnetic susceptibility is small and positive i.e. $0<\chi$. .
- Example: Manganese, aluminum, chromium, platinum, etc.
