The dependences of the magnetic susceptibility $$\left( \chi \right)$$ of a material with temperature (T) can be represented by $$\chi \propto \frac{1}{{T - \theta }},$$   where θ is the Curie-Weiss temperature. The plot of magnetic susceptibility versus temperature is sketched in the figure, as curves P, Q and R with curve Q having θ = 0. Which one of the following statements is correct?
