scalar or tensor quantity, the product of which by the magnetic field strength is equal to the magnetization
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 (rather than ) is used for the "magnetic susceptibility". Note 3 to entry: This entry was numbered 815-17-11 in IEC 60050-815:2015.
