High School How is the magnet being affected in this diamagnetic application?

Click For 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 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'

As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
