Language:enStatus: Standard
Term: magnetic susceptibility, <superconductor>
Synonym1:
Synonym2:
Synonym3:
Symbol: κ
Definition: scalar or tensor quantity, the product of which by the magnetic field strength 𝑯 is equal to the magnetization 𝑴

𝑴=κ𝑯

Note 1 to entry: In an isotropic medium, the magnetic susceptibility is a scalar, and in an anisotropic medium it is a tensor.

Note 2 to entry: In some literature, the symbol χm (rather than κ ) is used for the "magnetic susceptibility".

Note 3 to entry: This entry was numbered 815-17-11 in IEC 60050-815:2015.
