At time 2:34 to rest of the video there is a property(10th point) of diamagnetic liquid given.Same thing is written in my textbook also.I am really not getting this can anyone please explain or suggest any video demonstrating this.I have searched a lot on youtube.

The grammar looks odd. I think they just want to say "the surface of the liquid is lower in regions of strong field", with two examples of different places of strong magnetic fields.

1. What is a diamagnetic liquid?

A diamagnetic liquid is a type of liquid that exhibits a weak repulsive force when placed in a magnetic field. This is due to the fact that the liquid contains no unpaired electrons, which are necessary for a substance to be attracted to a magnetic field.

2. How is a diamagnetic liquid different from a paramagnetic liquid?

A diamagnetic liquid and a paramagnetic liquid both respond to magnetic fields, but in different ways. While a diamagnetic liquid is repelled by a magnetic field, a paramagnetic liquid is attracted to it. This is because a paramagnetic liquid contains unpaired electrons, which align with the magnetic field and create a net attractive force.

3. How can the diamagnetic properties of a liquid be demonstrated?

The diamagnetic properties of a liquid can be demonstrated using a simple experiment. First, a magnetic field is created using a strong magnet. Then, a small amount of the liquid is placed in a container and suspended above the magnet. The liquid should be seen to rise and form a dome shape above the magnet, due to the repulsive force between the liquid and the magnetic field.

4. What are some examples of diamagnetic liquids?

Some common examples of diamagnetic liquids include water, ethyl alcohol, and liquid nitrogen. These liquids all contain no unpaired electrons and therefore exhibit weak repulsive forces when placed in a magnetic field.

5. Can diamagnetic liquids be used for any practical applications?

Diamagnetic liquids do not have many practical applications, as their weak repulsive force is not strong enough for use in most technological or scientific processes. However, they are sometimes used in magnetic levitation experiments and as cooling agents in some industrial processes.
