Chapter 23: Problem 6

A diamagnetic substance is.....by/in the magnetic field. (a) attracted (b) repelled (c) rotated (d) revolved

Short Answer

Expert verified
(b) repelled

Step by step solution

01

Understand Diamagnetism

Diamagnetism is a property of all materials, and always makes a weak contribution to the material's response to a magnetic field. However, for materials that show some other form of magnetism (such as ferromagnetism or paramagnetism), the diamagnetic contribution becomes negligible.
02

Diamagnetic Substance Behavior

Diamagnetic substances are those that laymen would generally consider as non-magnetic, and include water, wood, most organic compounds such as petroleum and some plastics, and many metals including copper, particularly bismuth because of its strong diamagnetic nature. When placed in a magnetic field, diamagnetic substances create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to the externally applied magnetic field, and are repelled by the applied magnetic field.
03

Choose the Correct Option

Based on the above information, diamagnetic substances are repelled by the magnetic field. Thus, the correct choice is (b) repelled.
