B How is the magnet being affected in this diamagnetic application?

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion about the interaction between a strong magnet and a diamagnetic substance like water, it is clarified that both the magnet and the diamagnetic material experience mutual deflection. This phenomenon aligns with Newton's third law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Participants emphasize the importance of recognizing this principle in understanding the behavior of magnets and diamagnetic substances. The conversation highlights the complexity of these interactions, suggesting that both entities influence each other. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for applications involving strong magnets and diamagnetic materials.

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.
 

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Coulomb gauge implies instantaneous radial electric field?'

Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
