The quantity that is unchanged at different magnetic field strengths is

Question and options

The quantity that is unchanged at different magnetic field strengths is
  1. Nuclear spin population in an energy state
  2. Energy difference between two energy states of nuclei with non-zero spin quantum number
  3. Coupling constant
  4. Chemical shift (in hertz)

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Coupling constant
In NMR, the spin-spin coupling constant J (in Hz) arises from through-bond interactions and is independent of applied field strength; populations, energy gap, and chemical shift in Hz all scale with field.
