The primary reason a diamagnetic material develops a weak opposing magnetic moment in an external field is:

**Solenoid with magnetic core** produces field B = μ₀ μ_r n I inside, μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷ T·m/A, μ_r relative permeability, n = N/L turns per meter, I current. Core enhances field μ_r times, so given B, μ_r, n, current I = B/(μ₀ μ_r n) can be found, illustrating core effect on field strength. In diamagnetic materials, an external magnetic field induces orbital currents in atoms that oppose the applied field, per Lenz’s law. This results in a weak, negative magnetization, as all electrons contribute to this effect in materials with no net magnetic moment. Substituting values gives Induced currents opposing the field, which matches expected

The magnetic field lines inside a solenoid are nearly parallel because:

**Core magnetization** M = (μ_r -1)nI, so B = μ₀(nI + M). High μ_r materials like soft iron increase B dramatically for same nI, used in electromagnets, with μ_r up to 5000, enabling strong fields with low current. Inside a solenoid, the magnetic field lines are nearly parallel due to the uniform distribution of current loops along its length, creating a consistent field direction and magnitude, especially in a long solenoid where end effects are minimal. Substituting values gives The current loops produce a uniform field, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
