Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: For a diamagnetic substance, -1 ≤ χ < 0. Statement II: A diamagnetic substance placed in a non-uniform magnetic field tends to move from stronger field to weaker field. Choose the correct answer.

Options

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Diamagnetic materials have negative magnetic susceptibility, with χ < 0. They are weakly repelled by a magnetic field and therefore tend to move from stronger-field regions toward weaker-field regions. Thus both statements are true. Hence option C follows.
