We offer Apparatus for Measurement of Susceptibility of Paramagnetic Solids by Gouy’s Method in this, 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 (Δm ) in the mass of the sample. The susceptibility χ is given by
                 χ = 2Δmg/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.

The set up consists of the following:

(a) Scientific Balance, KSB-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

(b) Sample in the form of a long rod:
    Set of 4 samples, 2 each of Ebonite and Wood
