What Are Paramagnetic And Diamagnetic Materials?
Paramagnets materials which are attracted to magnetic fields. They have a relative magnetic permeability which is greater than one. They do not retain any magnetization during the absence of externally applied magnetic field. This is because the thermal motion causes the spins to be randomly oriented. The examples of paramagnets are organometallic compounds of d or f metals or proteins such as myoglobin, or small molecules that can be stable in radical form such as O2. Diamagnet Materials are the objects that create a magnetic field which is opposite to an externally applied magnetic field. It causes a repulsive effect. All the materials who this characteristics when a magnetic force is applied on them. They have a relative magnetic permeability which is less than 1. The examples of diamagnets include water, wood, Petroleum, Plastic etc.
