Answer #1

Paramagnetic substances are weakly magnetized in an external magnetic field. The direction of the magnetization is in the same direction as the external magnetic field so they gain a net magnetization when we remove the paramagnetic substance from the field. The alignment of electrons is interrupted and the substance will lose its magnetic property. Therefore, paramagnetic substances are not permanent magnets. Some examples of these materials are Aluminium, iron oxide, titanium etc.

Just lie paramagnetism, in diamagnetism too the substances are magnetized in an external magnetic field. But diamagnetic solids are repelled in the field. The magnetic property effected in them is in the opposite direction of the external magnetic fields and thus have a repulsive force. Examples of diamagnetic materials are bismuth, antimony, copper, gold, quartz etc.
