Question:

Superconductors expel a magnetic field from their bulk. In liquid N2, 102.5 mg of a YBa2Cu3O6.9 powder of apparent density 3000 kg/m3 was placed into the center of a miniature induction coil (a pick-up coil), and the induced voltage dropped by 450 mV. At 26 °C, a 38.4 mg standard increased the (empty-coil) voltage by 5.73 V. Assuming a linear voltage response to susceptibility, calculate the fraction of the magnetic field expelled from the inside of the superconductor, given that the standard was a Curie– Weiss paramagnet with Cm = 9.164×10−4 m3 K/kg and θ = −24 K. The expelled field corresponds to the dimensionless (volume) diamagnetic susceptibility of the superconductor. Because the samples were weighed, mass susceptibility must be calculated first.
