In a non-uniform field, diamagnetic substances tend to move:
ATowards the stronger field
BFrom stronger to weaker field
CAlong the field lines
DPerpendicular to field lines
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. From stronger to weaker field
A magnet repels a diamagnetic substance, which therefore drifts to the weaker part of the field.
