The dependences of the magnetic susceptibility $$\left( \chi \right)$$ of a material with temperature (T) can be represented by $$\chi \propto \frac{1}{{T - \theta }},$$   where θ is the Curie-Weiss temperature. The plot of magnetic susceptibility versus temperature is sketched in the figure, as curves P, Q and R with curve Q having θ = 0. Which one of the following statements is correct?<br><img src="/images/question-image/engineering-physics/solid-state-physics/1689671850-the-dependences-of-the-magnetic-susceptibility.png" title="Solid State Physics mcq question image" alt="Solid State Physics mcq question image">

Correct Answer: Curve R represents an antiferromagnet and Q a paramagnet
