Open in App
Solution

Diamagnetic substances repel magnetic field. This is so because an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. Diamagnetic substances are composed of atoms which have no net magnetic moments,ie., all the orbital shells are filled and there are no unpaired electrons.
Water is a diamagnetic substance.
