Show diagrammatically the behaviour of magnetic field lines in the presence of (i) paramagnetic and (ii) diamagnetic substances. How does one explain this distinguishing feature ?

Answer»

Solution :The behaviour of field lines in the presence of a PARAMAGNETIC anddiamagnetic substance has been shown in Fig.

In paramagnetic substance more field lines pass on placing the substance in a magnetic field because relative permeability `mu`, of it is greater than 1 and the substance experiences a FEEBLE FORCE of attraction.
In diamagnetic substance LESSER number of field lines pass through the substance when placed in a magnetic field because for it `mu lt 1` and the substance experiences a feeble force of repulsion.
