Question
If a diamagnetic substance is brought near the north or the south pole of a bar magnet, it is
-
repelled by both the poles
-
repelled by the north pole and attracted by the south pole
-
attracted by the north pole and repelled by the south pole
-
attracted by both the poles
Solution
A.
repelled by both the poles
The diamagnetic substance is weakly magnetised in a direction opposite to that of applied magnetic field. These are repelled in an external magnetic field ie, have a tendency to move from high to low field region.
