Diamagnetic Substance MCQs
On the basis of behaviour shown by substance towards the magnetic field, it is divided into three categories viz. Paramagnetic, Diamagnetic and Ferromagnetic
Substance which gets weakly repelled by magnetic field is known as diamagnetic substance and the property shown by the substance is known as diamagnetism. In diamagnetic substance, magnetic dipole moments of all the electrons in atom cancel each other; the resulting magnetic moment of the atom is zero.
When the diamagnetic materials are kept in an external magnetic field, the electrons whose orbital magnetic moments are in the same directions as that of the external magnetic field slows down and the electrons whose orbital magnetic moments are in the opposite direction to that of the external magnetic field speeds up. This developing magnetic moment in the direction opposite to that of applied external magnetic field. As a result, the diamagnetic substance is repelled by the applied field.
E.g. Silver, lead, silicon, nitrogen, sodium chloride, bismuth, copper, antimony, gold, mercury etc.
