Relative Permeability and Magnetic Susceptibility
Relative permeability, sometimes denoted by the symbol μr, is the ratio of the permeability of a specific medium to the permeability of free space, μ0:
where μ0 = 4π × 10−7 N A−2. In terms of relative permeability, the magnetic susceptibility is
χm, a dimensionless quantity, is sometimes called volumetric or bulk susceptibility, to distinguish it from χp (magnetic mass or specific susceptibility) and χM (molar or molar mass susceptibility).
