Question
What are diamagnetic substances? Give one example.
✓
Answer
Those substances which on keeping in any magnetic field are attracted a bit towards the opposite side of the magnetic field and when brought near the ends of a powerful magnet are somewhat repelled, are known as diamagnetic substances. This property of these substances is known as diamagnetism. Examples are zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au) etc.
