Diamagnetic materials___________________?

Correct answer: C. Are magnetised in direction opposite to the magnetic field

  • A. Are magnetised by eddy currents only
  • B. Are non-magnetic and cannot be magnetised
  • C. Are magnetised in direction opposite to the magnetic field
  • D. Can be magnetised in one direction only

Explanation

Diamagnetic substances develop an induced magnetic moment opposite to the applied magnetic field, producing weak repulsion. This distinguishes them from paramagnetic materials, which are weakly attracted in the field direction.
