θ is a constant for any one substance and equal to zero for those
substances which obey Curie’s law.

This equation is valid only for a < 1, a = 1 where a = kT
Special Cases
i. When a < 0.5 then
1 a
L (a) = ( 3 )a =3 and
1
L (a) as a function of “a” is a straight line with slope of 3
Two conclusions
1. Saturation will occur at large “a” employing that at large H or low
T alignment tendency of the field is going to overcome the
randomizing effect of thermal agitation at large H or low T.
2. At small a, L (a) depends linearly on “a” employing that M varies
linearly with H.
