How is the magnet being affected in this diamagnetic application?

In summary, the magnet in a diamagnetic application experiences a repulsive force due to the induced magnetic fields in the diamagnetic material, which opposes the external magnetic field. This results in a weak but measurable effect that causes the diamagnetic material to repel the magnet, leading to levitation or movement away from the magnetic source.

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. :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.
