5.23 A sample of paramagnetic salt contains 2.0 * 1024 atomic dipoles each of dipole moment 1.5 * 10–23 J T–1. The sample is placed under a homogeneous magnetic field of 0.64 T, and cooled to a temperature of 4.2 K. The degree of magnetic saturation achieved is equal to 15%. What is the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of 0.98 T and a temperature of 2.8 K? (Assume Curie's law)

What is the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of 0.98 T and a temperature of 2.8 K? (Assume Curie's law)
5.23 Number of atomic dipoles, n = 2
Dipole moment of each atomic dipole, M = 1.5 J/T
Magnetic field, = 0.64 T
The sample is cooled to the temperature, = 4.2 K
Total dipole moment of the atomic dipole, = n M
= 2
Magnetic saturation is achieved at 15 %
Hence, effective dipole moment, = 15 %
