Is Due To The Permanent Magnetic Moment of The Atom

The document discusses paramagnetism, which is the magnetic property of certain materials to be weakly attracted by an externally applied magnetic field. Paramagnetism results from the magnetic moments of individual atoms or molecules in the material being imperfectly canceled out, with the overall magnetic moment of the material being parallel and proportional to the applied field. The document provides an equation for calculating the paramagnetic susceptibility of a material based on its atomic or molecular magnetic moments and temperature. It also gives examples of calculations for the paramagnetic susceptibility and dipole moment of paramagnetic materials.
