alleryDiamagnetic substances tend to move from the stronger part of a field to the:
AWeaker part
BWarmer part
CWetter part
DWider part
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Weaker part
1. Two classes are drawn towards a magnet and one is pushed away.
2. The pushed-away class magnetises opposite to the applied field.
3. Diamagnetic substances have a tendency to move from stronger to the weaker part of the external field.
4. So they move towards the weaker part.
