Question 27: Magnetism and Matter

Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : For diamagnetic substance, $$-1 \leq \chi < 0$$, where $$\chi$$ is the magnetic susceptibility.
Statement II : Diamagnetic substances when placed in an external magnetic field, tend to move from stronger to weaker part of the field.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Accepted Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I
: For diamagnetic substances, the magnetic susceptibility (ÃÂ) lies between -1 and 0. This is because diamagnetic substances have a negative magnetic susceptibility, which means they have a tendency to oppose the applied magnetic field.
Statement II
: Diamagnetic substances, when placed in an external magnetic field, experience a force that tends to move them from stronger to weaker parts of the field. This is due to the fact that diamagnetic substances oppose the applied magnetic field and try to minimize their exposure to it.
