Magnetism - What do you call this phenomenon?

[Reedwan]

When a substance is neither attracted nor repeled by a magnet what can I call such phenomenon? Thank you

It's there somewhere I promise. It might even be within the first paragraph.

Regic, you've have enough posts to where I would expect you to have noticed by now that this forum is not about spoon feeding people answers, it's about helping them understand how to GET answers. Ajacent did what is normally done here ... he asked the poster to show some effort of his own before just jumping in a giving him an answer.

The very next thread that I went to after this one, happened to show exactly the same thing:

I didn't tell him the answer... I gave him a link to a place where he could find it himself.

And if anything I'm being snyde, telling him that the answer can be so easily found by a simple google search. Completely opposite from spoon feeding.

Thank you. I have read it before. I just want to picture the difference between diamagnetism and paramagnetism.
