How is the magnet being affected in this diamagnetic application?

[billmeh]

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?

Both are deflected by each other. Newton's third law.

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.
