Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below. Assertion : Dia-magnetic materials can exhibit magnetism. Reason : Dia-magnetic materials have permanent magnetic dipole moment.
Diamagnetic materials do not have a permanent magnetic dipole moment; they are characterized by their ability to create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field. Therefore, the assertion is true (diamagnetic materials can exhibit magnetism in the presence of an external magnetic field), but the reason is false.
