Diamagnetic Magnetization Strength as a Consequence of Electromagnetic Induction Law’s Effect

Abstract:

A qualitative proof of diamagnetic non-zero magnetization based on the electromagnetic induction law is presented in this paper. Modeling diamagnetic phenomena as a result of Larmor precession or effect of the electromagnetic induction’s law in scale of one hydrogen-like atom performed in classical physics contributes to formation of obviously incorrect idea of the diamagnetic magnetization process in students. It is well-known that the average magnetic moment of a diamagnetic calculated with the help of classical statistics laws is zero which can be explained by quantum character of magnetic phenomena. On the contrary, electromagnetic induction’s law is effective both in classical and quantum physics. Applying it to the diamagnetism problem will allow to solve it for the diamagnetic in whole and to avoid averaging which is proved in the present paper.
