Solid State Physics MCQs Question and Answer in Engineering Physics

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?

In a crystal of N primitive cells, each cell contains two monovalent atoms. The highest occupied energy band of the crystal is

Two dielectric materials A and B exhibit both ionic and orientational polarizabilities. The variation of their susceptibilities $$\chi \left( { = {\varepsilon _r} - 1} \right)$$   with temperature T is shown in the figure, where $${\varepsilon _r}$$ is the relative dielectric constant. It can be inferred from the figure that
