Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The diamagnetic property depends on temperature.

Statement II: The induced magnetic dipole moment in a diamagnetic sample is always opposite to the magnetizing field. Choose the correct answer.

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Diamagnetism is essentially independent of temperature because it arises from induced orbital currents. The induced magnetic moment in a diamagnetic material is opposite to the applied magnetizing field. Therefore Statement I is false and Statement II is true. Hence option A follows.
