How is the magnet being affected in this diamagnetic application?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interaction between a strong magnet and a diamagnetic substance, specifically water. It confirms that both the magnet and the diamagnetic material experience mutual deflection, adhering to Newton's Third Law of Motion. This principle states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which applies to the forces exerted between the magnet and the diamagnetic substance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these fundamental physical laws in practical applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Third Law of Motion
  • Basic knowledge of magnetism and diamagnetism
  • Familiarity with the properties of water as a diamagnetic substance

I am using an exremely stong magnet to deflect a diamagnetic substance( in this case water) Is the magnet being deflected against the dianagnetic
Or is the defection only present in the diamagnetic substance?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Both are deflected by each other. Newton's third law. :wink:
 
Yes I have heard that there are only 2 types of people in the world, those who realize the validity of Newtons third law and those who don't.
