Weak repulsion: Diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by a magnetic field, leading to a negligible effect in most practical applications.
Induced magnetic moment: When placed in a magnetic field, diamagnetic materials develop a small, induced magnetic moment in the opposite direction to the applied field.
Examples: Common examples of diamagnetic materials include water, wood, and the majority of organic compounds.
Explore the underlying principles of diamagnetism, including the induction of a magnetic moment and the resulting repulsion from an applied magnetic field.
