Physics · Para-, dia- and ferromagnetic substances with examples, the effect of temperature on magnetic properties

The permanent magnetic moment of atoms or molecules of a diamagnetic material is

The permanent magnetic moment of atoms or molecules of a diamagnetic material is

  • A. small
  • B. large
  • C. negative
  • D. zero

Step-by-step solution

Diamagnetic materials have all electrons paired, resulting in no net permanent magnetic moment. The magnetic moment of atoms or molecules is zero, and they exhibit weak repulsion in magnetic fields due to induced opposing moments.
