Question

Which of the following statements are correct?

• A. Atoms of Diamagnetic material have a net dipole moment
• B. Atoms of paramagnetic material doesn’t have a net dipole moment
• C. Diamagnetic material moves towards the region of lower magnetic field
• D. Paramagnetic material moves towards the region of lower magnetic field

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Diamagnetic material moves towards the region of lower magnetic field

As we discussed, diamagnetic materials’ atoms doesn’t have net dipole moment whereas the atoms of paramagnetic materials does have net dipole moment. Paramagnetic materials are attracted towards stronger field and diamagnetic material gets attracted towards weaker field.
