Gouy’s Method
Apparatus for Measurement of Susceptibility of Paramagnetic Solids by Gouy’s Method
In the Gouy’s method of susceptibility measurement, the solid sample in the form of a long cylinder (area of cross section A) is hung from the pan of a balance and is placed such that one end of the sample is between the pole-pieces of the magnet (field H ) and the other one is outside the field. The force exerted on the sample by the inhomogeneous magnetic field is obtained by measuring the apparent change (D m ) in the mass of the sample. The susceptibility c is given by
c = 2 mg/AH2
If the sample is in the form of powder, it is filled in a long nonmagnetic tube which is then suspended from the pan of the balance..
Description of the experimental setup
a) Scientific Balance, LSKSB-07
| Capacity |
200 gms |
| Sensitivity |
1/10 mg. by vernier |
| Beam |
Hard Bronze/ Brass |
| Arrestment |
Circular, falling away type |
| Air Damping |
Very quick and positive, beam coming to rest in 2-3 sec |
| Chainomatic Device |
A gold plated chain is suspended from the beam with its other end screwed on the rotating drum on which a scale graduated from 0 to 10 div each division representing 1mg is installed. By the movement of this scale before a vernier, reading upto 1/10th mg is taken |
