Question

Which of the following substance if kept in magnetic field, is thrown out of the magnetic field?

• A. Paramagnetic
• B. Ferromagnetic
• C. Diamagnetic
• D. Antiferromagnetic

Answer 1

The correct option is C Diamagnetic

When a diamagnetic substance is kept in a magnetic field, they are weakly repelled by an applied magnetic field. This happens because the diamagnetic substances are magnetised opposite to the direction of the applied magnetic field.
$H_{2}O,NaCl,KCl,C_6{H}_6,Ti{O}_2$ etc. are examples of diamagnetic substances.
Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted by the magnetic field.
Ferromagnetic substances are strong attracted by the magnetic field.
