Problem 3.287

A small ball of volume VV made of paramagnetic with susceptibility χ\chi was slowly displaced along the axis of a current-carrying coil from the point where the magnetic induction equals BB out to the region where the magnetic field is practically absent. What amount of work was performed during this process?
