Question

What are the behaviour of diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances in non-uniform magnetic field?

Answer 1

1. When placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, a diamagnetic substance moves from stronger to the weaker parts of the field.

2. When placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, a paramagnetic substance moves from weaker to the stronger parts of the field.

3. When a ferromagnetic substance is placed in non-uniform magnetic field, it moves from weaker to the stronger parts of the field.
