27.1 Diamagnetism, Paramagnetism and Ferromagnetism

The behavior of material substances, under the influence of a uniform magnetic field applied, can be classified into three different types.

(1) Substances such as Bismuth, Gold and Water are repelled away. This behavior is called diamagnetism.

(2) Substances such as Aluminium, Sodium and Tungsten are weakly attracted. Their behavior is known as Paramagnetism.

(3) Substances like Iron, Cobalt and Nickel are very strongly attracted. Their behavior is known as
Ferromagnetism.
