Substances that are feebly magnetized in the opposite direction of the magnetic field when placed in a strong magnetic field are known as diamagnetic materials.
Diamagnetic materials have a weak and temporary response to an applied magnetic field. When subjected to a strong external magnetic field, the atomic or molecular currents induced within diamagnetic materials produce a magnetic field that opposes the external field. This results in the material being weakly magnetized in the opposite direction to the applied field.
Examples of diamagnetic materials include:-
1. Bismuth
2. Copper
3. Gold
4. Silver
5. Water
2. Copper
3. Gold
4. Silver
5. Water
These materials exhibit diamagnetic behaviour due to the paired electrons in their atomic or molecular orbitals, which generate opposing magnetic moments when subjected to an external magnetic field.
