Inside a diamagnetic material, the field lines are expelled and the field is:
ARestored
BReduced
CRepeated
DReversed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Reduced
1. A diamagnet opposes the field that is applied to it.
2. The result is visible in the field line picture.
3. The field lines are repelled or expelled and the field inside the material is reduced.
4. So the internal field is reduced.
