We study the dc and ac magnetic susceptibility of high-temperature superconductors in weak magnetic fields. The high-resolution magnetic measurements were done using the non-commercial SQUID magnetometer with the sample in a properly quiet electromagnetic surrounding. The sample is in a residual external ac field smaller than 1 and the typical applied ac field is about 1. We show that the interpretation of the temperature dependence of the susceptibility measured under these conditions cannot be based on temperature-dependent suprefluid density, but can be interpreted as due to temperature-dependent electron scattering.
