3.2.2 Analysis<br />

The important quantities in magnetic measurements are the magnetic<br />

field vector H, measured in Oersted and the magnetization intensity (or<br />

simply the magnetization) M, measured in emu/volume (electromagnetic<br />

unit = erg/Oersted). M is often reported in units of emu/g, emu/mole or<br />

Bohr magnetons (μ B ) per magnetic atom. The magnetic induction field B<br />

measured in gauss, defined by B = H + 4π M, is often considered more<br />

fundamental in physics. The above units are CGS units which are more<br />

prevalent than MKS since the equations tend to be simpler. The MKS unit<br />

which is used commonly in the magnetic literature is the Tesla = 10000 gauss.<br />

Most materials have a magnetization proportional to the applied field.<br />

The magnetic susceptibility χ, defined by M = χH, relates these two quantities.<br />

It is convenient to use χ = M/H, for non-ferromagnetic and isotropic
