A diamagnetic material in a magnetic material moves
Correct answer: A. Stronger to the weaker parts of the field
- A. Stronger to the weaker parts of the field
- B. From weaker to the stronger parts of the field
- C. Perpendicular to the field
- D. In none of the above directions
Explanation
Diamagnetic materials are characterised by their tendency to create an induced magnetic field in the opposite direction to an applied magnetic field, causing them to be repelled by the field. This results in movement towards areas where the magnetic field is weaker. Consequently, they move from stronger parts of the field to weaker parts. This behaviour contrasts with paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials, which are attracted to stronger fields and move towards them. Option A correctly describes the behaviour of diamagnetic materials, while Options B, C, and D are inaccurate descriptions of their behaviour in a magnetic field.

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
