Solution
(i) The magnetic field lines, when a diamagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field, can be diagrammatically represented as
(ii) The magnetic field lines, when a paramagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field, can be diagrammatically represented as
Diamagnetic and paramagnetic materials are distinguished by the magnetic property called magnetic susceptibility. For diamagnetic materials, magnetic susceptibility is negative, whereas for paramagnetic materials, magnetic susceptibility is slightly positive.
