Magnetic Susceptibility VS. Relative Permeability

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic susceptibility and relative permeability are distinct but related concepts in magnetism. Magnetic susceptibility measures how much a material will become magnetized in an external magnetic field, while relative permeability indicates how much a material can enhance the magnetic field compared to a vacuum. Both properties are crucial in applications like transformer cores, magnetic shielding, and inductors. Understanding these differences helps in selecting materials for specific magnetic applications. Clear differentiation between the two is essential for effective use in engineering and physics.

What is the difference between the two and what are the applications of them in a magnetic material?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Presumably you have looked up the definitions of the terms ... the same sources should provide examples.
So what is the problem?

(note: sounds like the sort of question that gets asked for homework).
 
I have and the explanations of the two have confused me. To me they both sound like the samething. Can you give me a clear explanation of the two?
 
One is to do with magnets, and the other to do with magnetic fields.

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
