Which of the following is not a characteristic of diamagnetism?

  1. A Their magnetic susceptibility is small and negative.
  2. B The material moves from a region of strong magnetic field to weak magnetic field.
  3. C Diamagnetic materials are repelled by bar magnets.
  4. D The origin of diamagnetism is the spin of electrons.
Verified Solution

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…
