Definition of Diamagnetism
1. Noun. Phenomenon exhibited by materials like copper or bismuth that become magnetized in a magnetic field with a polarity opposite to the magnetic force; unlike iron they are slightly repelled by a magnet.
Definition of Diamagnetism
1. n. The science which treats of diamagnetic phenomena, and of the properties of diamagnetic bodies.
Definition of Diamagnetism
1. Noun. (physics) a weak form of magnetism that is only observed in the presence of an external magnetic field; due to an induced magnetic field in an opposite direction ¹
