Teaching Discussion on Microscopic Mechanism of Diamagnetic Substance and Diamagnetism

Abstract

Firstly, the different microscopic interpretations of the magnetic field affected by diamagnetic substance appearing in the textbook are introduced, and the doubts that are easy to arise are pointed out. Finally, a simple and lucid explanation is proposed. Keywords—Diamagnetic substance, induced magnetic moment, Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, Lorentz force
