...and superconductors are usually perfectly diamagnetic.
- colechristensen 3y agoEvery substance is one of * ferromagnetic - attracted to one pole of a magnet but not the other (in a given orientation), this is what everybody thinks of when they think of "magnets" * paramagnetic - attracted to both poles, i.e. stuff that sticks to magnets * diamagnetic - repelled by both poles, except in superconductors, this effect is very weak compared to the forces experienced involving ferro-ferro or fero-paramagnetic materials. There isn't another category, everything fits in to one of those buckets. Saying >Just so everyone is on the same page, static passive diamagnetic levitation is possible with materials like pyrolytic graphite. is a bit deceptive, as what people know as "magnetic" materials are ferromagnetic.
