Question

Diamagnetic materials when placed in a non-uniform magnetic field move:
  1. A
    From weaker to stronger field regions
  2. B
    From stronger to weaker field regions
    Correct
  3. C
    Along the field lines
  4. D
    Stay stationary

Correct answer

From stronger to weaker field regions

Explanation

Diamagnets are repelled by magnetic fields — they migrate toward regions of lower field. Example: bismuth, copper, water.
