A diamagnetic substance has

Question and options

A diamagnetic substance has
  1. spontaneous magnetization in the absence of applied magnetic field
  2. a negative magnetic susceptibility
  3. a temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility
  4. a net magnetization when applied field H=0H = 0

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - a negative magnetic susceptibility
Diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by a field: they have a small negative susceptibility, essentially temperature independent, and no magnetization when H=0H = 0.
