Which of the following materials is diamagnetic in nature?
A. Water
B. Iron
C. Aluminum
D. Nickel
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Materials are classified by their magnetic properties. Ferromagnetic materials (Iron, Cobalt, Nickel) are strongly attracted to magnets. Paramagnetic materials (Aluminum, Platinum) are weakly attracted. Diamagnetic materials (Water, Bismuth, Copper, Gold) are actually weakly repelled by a magnetic field because they create an induced magnetic field in opposition to the externally applied one.
