What is the susceptibility and permeability of a perfectly diamagnetic substance?

  1. What is the susceptibility and permeability of a perfectly diamagnetic substance?

we know,

susceptibility = intensity of magnetization (I) / Magnetizing intensity (H)

permeability = 1 + susceptibility 

for a perfectly diamagnetic substance, 

 intensity of magnetization (I) = - Magnetizing intensity (H) 

negative sign shows that the opposite alignment of electrons against the direction of applied magnetic field. 

thus, susceptibility = -1 ( acts as super conductor )

and, permeability =0 ( no magnetic lines of force pass through the material )

Permeability can also be understood by opposite nature because the magnetic field produced will be in opposite direction to the applied field which will create repulsion and no lines will pass through.
