a) Langevin theory of paramagnetism assumes that atoms or
molecules with magnetic moment do not interact with each other and
are only affected by the applied field and thermal provocations.
That would cause Curie's law. In 1907, Pierre Weiss explained that
each magnetic moment interacts with each other. He suggested that
this interaction could be explained by an imaginary molecular field
(Hm = ?M).
By using molecular field expression derive ?= C/T-θ for magnetic
susceptibility.
b) Plot the temperature-dependent curves of magnetic susceptibility
for Curie and Curie-Weiss paramagnetism and diamagnetism on a
single graph.
