Q. Diamagnetic substances are the ones in which resultant magnetic moment in an atom is

Magnetism and Matter

Solution:

Electrons in an atom orbiting around nucleus possess orbital angular momentum. These orbiting electrons are equivalent to current-carrying loop and thus possess orbital magnetic moment. Diamagnetic substances are the ones in which resultant magnetic moment in an atom is zero.
