Examples of diamagnetism in the following topics:
-
- Paramagnetism is the attraction of material while in a magnetic field, and diamagnetism is the repulsion of magnetic fields.
- Diamagnetism is the property of an object or material that causes it to create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field.
- Thus, unlike paramagnets, diamagnets are repelled by magnetic fields, which can lead to its unusual effects, such as levitation of diamagnetic material when located above powerful magnet (as shown in ).
- However, for materials that display some other form of magnetism (such as ferromagnetism or paramagnetism), the diamagnetic contribution becomes negligible.
- In addition, all conductors exhibit an effective diamagnetism when they experience a changing magnetic field.
