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

Solution Explained:

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 substances are magnetized in a direction opposite to the external magnetizing field. As a result, they experience a repulsive force from strong field regions toward weaker field regions.
