The ratio of mass of a diamagnetic subst...

The ratio of mass of a diamagnetic substance in a magnetic field to its actual mass

A

is greater than one

B

is less than one

C

is equal to one

D

cannot be predicted

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
The external magnetic field induces a small magnetic moment to the diamagnetic substance . The moment in the diamagnetic substance is in opposition to the external field. Thus diamagnetic substance repel has of force, and show decrease in weight.
