Which of the following is not a characteristic of diamagnetism?
- A Their magnetic susceptibility is small and negative.
- B The material moves from a region of strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field.
- C Diamagnetic materials are repelled by bar magnets.
- D The origin of diamagnetism is the spin of electrons.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The origin of diamagnetism is the spin of electrons.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Diamagnetic materials exhibit a small negative magnetic susceptibility, denoted as \(\chi < 0\). When placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled, meaning they move from a region of stronger magnetic field to a region of weaker magnetic…
