If a diamagnetic substance is brought near the north or the south pole of a bar magnet, it is (a) repelled by the north pole and attracted by the south pole (b) attracted by the north pole and repelled by the south pole (c) attracted by both the poles (d) repelled by both the poles

Answer: (d). A diamagnetic substance is magnetized opposite to the applied field whichever pole is near. So the near face always has the same polarity as the magnet's pole and it moves to the weaker field region. So the answer is (d) repelled by both the poles.

If a diamagnetic substance is brought near the north or the south pole of a bar magnet, it is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

A diamagnetic substance is magnetized opposite to the applied field whichever pole is near.
So the near face always has the same polarity as the magnet's pole and it moves to the weaker field region.
So the answer is (d) repelled by both the poles.
