Question

In what way is the behaviour of a diamagnetic material different from that of a paramagnetic one, when kept in an external magnetic field ?

Open in App

Solution

The affinity of the paramagnetic material towards an external magnetic field is much higher than a diamagnetic material.

The magnetic field lines pass through the paramagnetic material while the magnetic field lines move away from the diamagnetic material.

Q. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, it gets polarised. The electric field in a polarised material is less than the applied field. When a paramagnetic substance is kept in a magnetic field, the field in the substance is more than the applied field. Explain the reason of this opposite behaviour.
