A diamagnetic material in a magnetic field moves
- from stronger to the weaker parts of the field
- from weaker to the stronger parts of the field
- perpendicular to the field
- in none of the above directions
Answer
(1) from stronger to the weaker parts of the field
Solution
As per NCERT, diamagnetic substances are those which have a tendency to move from stronger to the weaker part of the external magnetic field (they are repelled by a magnet).
∵ Their induced magnetic moment is opposite to the applied field.
Answer: (1)
