are placed in a magnetic field, develop a magnetization vector in the
opposite direction to the applied field
(b) These materials have a positive and very large magnetic
susceptibility, and may have large permanent magnetizations even in the
absence of an applied magnetic field.
(c) These materials have a small positive magnetic susceptibility, and
when are placed in a magnetic field, develop a magnetization vector
along the direction of the applied field.

1- The electrical conductivity of
metal are good in comparing with
another type of materials? *
Increasing the temperature of a semiconductor breaks covalent bonds. For each broken bond, two electrons become free to move and transfer electrical charge. What fraction of the total valance electrons are free to move and what fraction of the covalent bonds must be broken in order that 5×1015 electrons conduct electrical charge in 50 g of silicon?
