The magnetic susceptibility of zinc is slightly negative – what do you mean by this?

Dear Student,


If the magnetic susceptibility is positive, the material can be paramagnetic, ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. ... Alternatively, if the magnetic susceptibility is negative, the material is diamagnetic and as a result, the magnetic field is weakened by the presence of the material.​diamagnetics and other types of magnetism. If χ is positive, a material can be paramagnetic. In this case, the magnetic field in the material is strengthened by the induced magnetization. Alternatively, if χ is negative, the material is diamagnetic.zinc is diamagnetic
