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 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.
