Diamagnetic materials are magnetised________________?

Correct answer: D. In a direction opposite to that of the applied field

  • A. Strongly
  • B. Only slightly
  • C. With eddy currents only
  • D. In a direction opposite to that of the applied field

Explanation

Diamagnetic substances develop only a weak induced magnetisation, and it is opposite to the applied magnetic field. Strong magnetisation is characteristic of ferromagnetic materials, not diamagnetic ones.
