Term: magnetic susceptibility
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".
