Magnetic Properties of Matter: Practice Problem & Solution

26. Diamagnetic material in a magnetic field moves: (2003)
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

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Magnetic Properties of Matter. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Diamagnetic materials get magnetized in the opposite direction to the applied external magnetic field. Because of this repulsion, they experience a net force moving them from the stronger region to the weaker region of the field.

1. Consider two long solenoids \( A \) and \( B \) having length \( 2L \) and \( 3L \) and number of loop as \( N \) and \( 2N \) respectively. If both have same current then ratio of magnetic field inside \( A \) to that of the \( B \) will be
2. Assertion (A): In Ampere's law for magnetostatics \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{l} = \mu_0 \sum I_{\text{i}}\) the current outside the Amperian loop is not included on the right side. Reason (R): Magnetic field calculated using Ampere's law is due to inside as well outside the current of closed loop.
