As the magnetic material has negative susceptibility, so it diamagnetic material. Two properties of these types of materials are:

(i) When these materials are kept in external magnetic field then a net magnetic moment is developed inside the material in opposite direction.

(ii) When diamagnetic substances are kept in nonuniform external magnetic field then they move from stronger to weaker field.
